SUZUKI is introducing its own warranty scheme for used cars.

The Suzuki Approved Used Car Warranty offers customers 12 months comprehensive cover when purchasing an approved used vehicle up to eight years old and with a maximum of 80,000 miles recorded.

The cover is offered free of charge to private retail customers and includes UK and European Roadside Assistance.

Electrical and mechanical factory fitted components are covered against failure and the vehicle has a pre-delivery assessment check to ensure a clean bill of health prior to handover.

All a customer needs to do once they have taken delivery of their car is activate the warranty online and within 10 days.

David Kateley, general manager sales operations for Suzuki GB, said: "At Suzuki, customer trust, experience and retention are paramount, and the launch of our in-house Approved Used Car Warranty will certainly enhance this for the future, ensuring our customers get the best levels of service when buying a car from our 150 strong dealer network."
