Cars24 Lifetime Warranty For Used Cars Coverage Rules Explained
Cars24 Launches Lifetime Warranty for Used Cars What Buyers Should Know
Cars24 has introduced a new lifetime warranty program for certified used cars in India. The move aims to make used car ownership more secure for buyers who worry about unexpected repair costs after purchase. The company plans to reduce hesitation among customers who want the reliability of a new car while choosing a pre owned vehicle.
Why Cars24 Introduced This Warranty
Many buyers avoid used cars because major repairs such as engine or gearbox failure can become expensive. Cars24 designed this warranty to provide long term protection on critical mechanical parts and improve confidence in online car purchases.
How Long the Warranty Stays Active
The warranty remains valid for up to 12 years from the vehicle’s original registration date or until the car completes 1.5 lakh kilometers. Coverage automatically ends when either limit is reached. The remaining warranty period therefore depends on the age and usage of the vehicle at the time of purchase.
Major Components Covered
The program mainly protects the vehicle powertrain which includes the engine transmission and drivetrain. These components are usually the most expensive to repair. If a mechanical failure occurs Cars24 provides cashless repair support through its authorised service network.
Important Service Requirement
To keep the warranty active owners must service the vehicle only at Cars24 approved workshops and follow the scheduled maintenance plan.
Servicing outside this network including independent garages or brand authorised service centres may result in cancellation of coverage. Buyers should understand this condition clearly before opting for the warranty.
Items Not Included in Coverage
The warranty does not apply to regular maintenance parts. Components such as tyres brake pads clutch plates filters and bulbs fall under normal wear and tear and remain the responsibility of the owner.
Who Can Benefit Most
This warranty may suit buyers who prefer predictable ownership costs and do not mind using a dedicated service network. It can especially help first time used car buyers seeking added peace of mind.
However owners who prefer servicing their vehicles at independent workshops may find the service condition restrictive. Such programs could gradually make certified used cars a stronger alternative to new vehicle purchases. Extended protection on key mechanical components can improve buyer confidence provided service conditions are followed carefully.
Understanding both benefits and limitations remains essential before making a purchase decision.
