Used car shoppers in the UK who want the convenience and security of buying through a dealership will be pleased to learn that Hyundai has improved its used car program across the country, confirming that applicable vehicles will be sold with a warranty of up to five years.
The Hyundai Promise Approved Used Cars program now offers a five-year warranty on petrol and diesel cars that are up to 42 months old and have covered less than 60,000 miles (96,000 km). Applicable EV, PHEV, and hybrid models can be up to 36 months and must not have traveled more than 60,000 miles.
Those who pick up the keys to an eligible vehicle must bring it into Hyundai once every year for an annual health check to unlock the next 12 months of warranty coverage. Petrol and diesel vehicles offer no mileage restrictions but the warranty period will end on EV, PHEV, and hybrid models once they reach 100,000 miles (161,000 km).

The used car warranty being offered by Hyundai in the UK also includes 12 months of roadside assistance, a Hyundai Multi-Point safety and condition check, drive-away insurance, a £250 ($306) excess cover voucher, and a 30-day / 1,000-mile exchange agreement. Vehicles that don’t meet the eligibility criteria for the five-year warranty are eligible for a 12-month warranty plus all the aforementioned perks.
“Hyundai has always led the way with new car warranties, and with the newly updated Hyundai Promise our used car customers benefit from the same length of warranty cover for their Hyundai purchase,” Hyundai Motor UK sales director Andrew Tracey said. “This is a significant landmark for Hyundai and our retail network and we’re extremely proud to be delivering one of the industry’s leading approved used car warranty schemes, bringing the very same reassurance of new car buyers to the used car sales industry.”
