Nissan CPO Inspection Checklist in Hazelwood, MO (2026)

What Nissan's 167-point CPO inspection actually checks in Hazelwood, MO — eligibility, what disqualifies a car, warranty terms, and how it beats a generic used lot.

Nissan CPO Inspection Checklist in Hazelwood, MO (2026)
6 min read

A Nissan Certified Pre-Owned vehicle in Hazelwood must be no more than 72 months from its original in-service date, have fewer than 80,000 miles, carry a clean title and history, and pass a documented 167-point inspection performed by a Nissan-trained technician. At Bommarito Nissan Hazelwood, every Nissan CPO vehicle also comes with a 7-year/100,000-mile limited warranty, 24/7 roadside assistance, a CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and one year of pre-paid maintenance on gas-powered models. That combination — a defined checklist plus factory-backed coverage — is what separates CPO from a generic "inspected" used car on a lot off Dunn Road.

What does the Nissan CPO 167-point inspection actually check in Hazelwood?

The 167-point inspection is a published, traceable checklist a Nissan-trained technician works through before a vehicle can be certified. It covers eligibility and history review, mechanical and electrical systems, drivetrain and transmission (including CVT where applicable), brakes, suspension, steering, HVAC, safety systems, exterior condition, body and bumpers, wheels and tires, engine compartment presentation, and interior cleanliness, seats, carpets, and surfaces. The buyer receives a signed copy at delivery.

At Bommarito Nissan Hazelwood, the signed checklist is part of the CPO paperwork you take home along with the CARFAX report and warranty registration. The checklist is not a prediction that nothing will ever fail — it is documentation that the vehicle met Nissan's standard on the day it was certified, and that any disqualifying defects were addressed before the car was offered for sale.

What disqualifies a Nissan from being certified pre-owned?

A Nissan is disqualified from CPO if it is older than 72 months from its original in-service date, has 80,000 miles or more, has a branded or problem title, has unresolved open recalls or campaigns, or fails any step of the 167-point inspection that cannot be repaired to Nissan's standard. History-report red flags — frame damage, flood exposure, odometer discrepancies, or prior total-loss designation — also eliminate a candidate before the technician ever picks up a wrench.

That is why not every clean trade-in on the lot becomes a CPO car. Vehicles that are solid but fall outside Nissan's criteria may instead be offered under a different program. Bommarito Nissan Hazelwood also runs a MotoTrend Certified Pre-Owned program and a Certified Select tier that covers Nissan or off-brand vehicles up to 10 years old with fewer than 100,000 miles, passing an 84-point inspection and including a 6-month/6,000-mile limited warranty. Those tiers exist so each car ends up in the program it genuinely qualifies for — not the other way around.

How does Nissan CPO compare to a generic used car in Hazelwood?

Nissan CPO is a manufacturer-defined program with a 167-point checklist, strict eligibility rules, a factory-backed 7-year/100,000-mile limited warranty, 24/7 roadside assistance, a CARFAX report, and one year of pre-paid maintenance on gas models. A generic "inspected" used car at a non-franchise lot has none of those guarantees by default — the scope of inspection, what gets repaired, and whether any warranty is included depend entirely on the seller.

DimensionNissan CPO at Bommarito Nissan HazelwoodGeneric used-car lot
EligibilityNissan only, under 72 months old, under 80,000 miles, clean title/historySeller sets its own criteria, if any
Inspection167-point, Nissan-trained technician, signed checklistVaries — "multi-point" has no standard definition
Warranty7-year/100,000-mile limited, factory-backedOften none, or a separate third-party contract
Roadside24/7 roadside assistance includedNot standard
History reportCARFAX includedRequest separately; may cost extra
MaintenanceOne year of pre-paid maintenance on gas Nissan modelsNot included

A low sticker on a non-CPO car can still be the right call if the paperwork backs it up. The question to ask any Hazelwood seller is simple: show me the written inspection, the repair records, the history report, and the warranty terms. If any of those are missing, budget for an independent pre-purchase inspection before you sign.

What warranty and benefits come with a Nissan CPO in Hazelwood?

Every Nissan CPO vehicle sold at Bommarito Nissan Hazelwood includes a 7-year/100,000-mile limited warranty, 24/7 roadside assistance, a CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and one year of pre-paid maintenance for gas-powered Nissan models. The warranty is backed by Nissan, not the dealer, so coverage travels with the car at any Nissan dealership nationwide.

That coverage sits alongside the Bommarito Advantage protection plans provided through EasyCare, which include 24/7 roadside assistance throughout the U.S. and Canada, rental car reimbursement, trip interruption coverage, and professional towing. Any Genuine Nissan Parts installed by the dealer are backed by a 12-month/12,000-mile limited warranty, which matters if a CPO vehicle needs service during ownership.

What Missouri rules affect a used Nissan purchase in Hazelwood?

Missouri's state-level dealer rules apply to CPO and non-CPO sales alike. Missouri law separately requires that covered used vehicles sold by dealers be inspected before sale, with the inspection expense placed on the seller.

St. Louis County — which Hazelwood sits inside, along the I-270 corridor just south of Lambert International Airport — is one of the Missouri counties where the emissions program applies. That makes the state inspection a legal minimum for covered vehicles, not a substitute for Nissan's multi-point CPO inspection or an independent pre-purchase look.

What should a Hazelwood buyer bring home with a CPO Nissan?

At delivery, a Nissan CPO buyer should walk out with the signed multi-point inspection checklist, the CARFAX Vehicle History Report, the Nissan limited-warranty registration and written terms, documentation of any reconditioning work performed, the Missouri title and sale paperwork, and — for gas Nissan models — confirmation of the one year of pre-paid maintenance that comes with CPO.

If any of those items are missing or vague, ask before signing. The paperwork is the proof the program was followed; the signed checklist in particular is what distinguishes a certified vehicle from one that was merely "looked over."

As promised, editing my review based on this dealerships customer service alone. I am still extremely disappointed with the length of time and the measures I had to take to obtain a replacement part for my nearly new 2025 Murano however that is due to Nissan, not Bommarito. After more than 70 days without my vehicle, multiple escalations, and Nissan still being unable to provide an ETA, Stephen stepped in and actually helped.He took the initiative to search for the part, located it, and got it to my body shop the same day. What makes that even more impressive is that I didn’t purchase my Murano from Bommarito.While I’m ultimately unhappy with the overall experience of trying to obtain a replacement part from Nissan, Stephen and Bommarito Nissan Hazelwood absolutely earned this 5-star update. Stephen went above and beyond when I desperately needed someone to help, and I truly appreciate it. This is the kind of customer service that earns future business.

Frequently asked questions about Nissan CPO in Hazelwood

How many points are in the Nissan CPO inspection?

Nissan's Certified Pre-Owned inspection is a 167-point checklist performed by a Nissan-trained technician. It covers eligibility and history review along with mechanical, electrical, drivetrain, brake, suspension, safety, exterior, and interior condition. The buyer receives a signed copy of the completed checklist at delivery, which documents that the vehicle met Nissan's standard on the day it was certified.

What is the age and mileage limit for a Nissan CPO vehicle?

It must also carry a clean title, a clean history report, and have no unresolved open recalls or campaigns. Vehicles that fall outside these limits may qualify for a different pre-owned tier instead.

What warranty comes with a Nissan CPO at Bommarito Nissan Hazelwood?

Nissan CPO vehicles at Bommarito Nissan Hazelwood come with a 7-year/100,000-mile limited warranty, 24/7 roadside assistance, a CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and one year of pre-paid maintenance for gas-powered Nissan models. The warranty is factory-backed by Nissan, meaning coverage is honored at any Nissan dealership nationwide — not just the selling store.

Is a Nissan CPO worth the price premium over a regular used Nissan?

A CPO Nissan typically costs more than a comparable non-certified Nissan because of the eligibility rules, inspection and reconditioning work, and factory-backed warranty. Whether the premium is worth it depends on how long you plan to keep the car and how much you value a documented inspection, included roadside assistance, and nationwide warranty coverage. Longer ownership timelines usually favor CPO.

What if the Nissan I want is too old or has too many miles for CPO?

Vehicles that fall outside Nissan CPO's age and mileage limits may still qualify for other certified tiers. Bommarito Nissan Hazelwood offers a MotoTrend Certified Pre-Owned program and a Certified Select tier covering Nissan or off-brand vehicles up to 10 years old with fewer than 100,000 miles, passing an 84-point inspection and including a 6-month/6,000-mile limited warranty.

Does Missouri's emissions rule apply to a used Nissan in Hazelwood?

Yes. Hazelwood is in St. Louis County, which falls inside Missouri's dealer emissions program. Missouri law requires that covered used vehicles sold by dealers be inspected before sale, at the seller's expense.

The bottom line for Hazelwood buyers

Nissan CPO is a defined program, not a sales adjective. The 167-point checklist, the eligibility rules, and the 7-year/100,000-mile factory-backed warranty are what you are actually buying when a Nissan is certified — and the signed paperwork at delivery is the proof. If you want to see which Nissans currently qualify for CPO in Hazelwood, or compare a CPO vehicle to a Certified Select alternative, Bommarito Nissan Hazelwood at 661 Dunn Rd can walk you through the checklist and warranty terms in person.
