Your car will also have been given a comprehensive HPI check to ensure there is no outstanding finance due.
 
And for extra reassurance, we check to ensure your car has never been written off and is not currently reported to the police as lost or stolen.

30 day exchange plan
If for any reason you wish to change your Ford Direct vehicle, you may exchange it once within the first 30 days or 1,000 miles (whichever is sooner) as long as it is:
      • Returned to the Dealer you bought it from
      • The same vehicle that was sold to you (including tyres and options etc)
      • In the same condition as sold
      • Exchanged for another car of the same or higher price

If you bought your car on finance, you’ll need to settle the balance with the finance company when you make the exchange, and sign a new finance agreement.

RAC inspected and approved
Before we offer your car for sale, we subject it to a rigorous examination. We check inside, outside, under the bonnet and the underneath of every single Ford Direct vehicle – we even scrutinise the tool kit in the boot.
 
Once a vehicle has passed our initial examination, it goes through the Ford used car reconditioning process, where any prior noted imperfections are corrected.
 
Next, we submit the car for an independent RAC inspection. Once it has passed, it’s issued with an RAC approved certificate containing details such as model, chassis number, registration number and mileage.
 
Once vehicles have been assessed, road tested and passed by the RAC engineer, they are given a thorough valet, to add the finishing touch.
 
Finally, we issue the vehicle with our Ford Direct security windscreen hologram – so you can be sure your purchase comes with complete peace of mind.
Ford Direct warranty and roadside assistance
Your Ford Direct car comes with the reassurance of two years’ comprehensive, unlimited mileage warranty. This covers you against failure due to manufacturing or material defects in most original specification components.

Not only do you have the reassurance of the manufacturer’s own warranty, but there are also no limits on the number of claims you can make. Terms and conditions apply.
 
You also receive two years’ Ford Assistance cover, including roadside assistance, assistance at home and vehicle recovery. We can provide onward travel and car hire if you need it, too. Ford Assistance covers most European destinations, and is valid for any driver of your car, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
