The RAC inspector carries out a meticulous examination of the vehicle. Inside, outside, under the bonnet, under the car, even the tool kit in the boot is scrutinised to make sure it's complete and everything is in order. After each car has gone through the Ford used car reconditioning process, where any prior imperfections noted by the RAC inspector are corrected, it is then put forward for a final RAC inspection. Only when the RAC inspector is completely satisfied will they issue the RAC approved certificate with the vehicle details - model, chassis number, registration number and mileage when it was inspected. Then, and only then, do we give it our own Ford Direct security windscreen hologram.

All Ford Direct vehicles come with Ford Assistance which provides roadside assistance, assistance at home and vehicle recovery. Onward travel and car hire may also be provided where required. This service is for anyone driving your vehicle and includes most European destinations. Help is at hand 24 hours a day 365 days.

Every Ford Direct car is backed by our 2 year comprehensive unlimited mileage warranty included in the price you pay for the vehicle.You receive cover 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.

To protect you against the risks of 'clocking', every Ford Direct vehicle is checked on the National Mileage Register before it is offered for sale. Furthermore, to give you total peace of mind, every vehicle is also given a comprehensive HPI check, which ensures there is no outstanding finance due on the vehicle, as well as other checks. Feel safe in the knowledge that your vehicle:

• Has never been written off

You can drive your car away secure in the knowledge that it comes with comprehensive 7 days driveaway cover provided at no extra cost on all Ford Direct cars.

Our vehicles are also given comprehensive National Mileage Register and HPI checks, as well as full valet cleaning.Only then we give the car our security hologram to give you total peace of mind
