How Does a Vehicle Become Lexus L/Certified?

So, what does L/Certified mean, exactly? Certified pre-owned Lexus vehicles, also known as “Lexus Certified,” must be six years old or newer and have 80,000 miles or fewer on the odometer. Each pre-owned Lexus model must also pass a meticulous 161-point inspection to become Lexus Certified. This inspection evaluates many aspects of the car, including but not limited to:

• Engine, exterior, interior, electronics, safety devices, undercarriage
• The vehicle must also pass a road test conducted by experienced certified technicians
