More about Proven and Direct Vehicle Scheme

The Subaru Proven programme is your assurance that every Approved Used Subaru has been prepared to the same exacting standards for which Subaru Dealers are renowned. Whether its a nearly new Subaru, an ex-Demonstrator or a Used vehicle sourced via the Subaru "Direct" programme , you can look forward to peace-of-mind motoring and the wide variety of benefits that being a Subaru Proven driver, confers.

All Subaru Proven vehicles are less than 7 years old / 80,000 miles, whichever comes first (7 years / 60,000 miles on Impreza P1 derivatives). "Direct" Subaru cars are typically under three years old. Demonstrators are typically under six months old. Please click below to find out more.

Subaru Proven Warranty

What's included in the Subaru Proven warranty? When you buy an Approved Used, "Direct" or ex-Demonstrator Subaru you'll benefit from an outstanding Proven warranty. Apart from routine service items like tyres, brake pads and discs or, any parts requiring repair or replacement due to normal wear and tear or age, your Subaru has unlimited mileage protection against breakdown and repair costs for both parts and labour for 12 months. This cover is both extendable and transferable. Full details of the extendable Subaru Proven warranty are available from your authorised Subaru Dealer.

Independent, certificated Vehicle History and Mileage Checks

Every Subaru sold under the Proven banner also benefits from not one but two independent checks to provide you with total peace of mind. The car data check verifies that the car has not been stolen or written-off, and is not subject to any outstanding finance agreement. A Vehicle Mileage Check then gives you the added reassurance that the mileage stated on the speedometer is accurate. A separate certificate confirming that each of these checks has been made is supplied with your Proven Subaru.

Subaru Home & Roadside European Assistance

Your Proven Subaru comes with 12 months cover for motoring emergencies in the UK and throughout continental Europe. So whether you are at home or at the roadside you can be confident that, whatever the time, help will soon be on its way. Subaru European Assistance includes the following : * Local recovery/roadside and home assistance * Onward travel/hotel accommodation * Car hire * Repatriation of your Subaru to the UK For full details of the extendable Subaru Home & Roadside European Assistance package, please contact your authorised Subaru Dealer.

30 day / 1000 mile exchange

The Proven Subaru brand is your sign of quality and such is our confidence in Subaru cars that if we can’t resolve a demonstrable fault arising within the first 30 days or 1000 miles of your ownership (whichever arrives sooner), you will be entitled to an exchange or a refund, if an appropriate exchange cannot be found**. **This does not affect your statutory rights.

What is Subaru "Direct"

The Subaru Direct programme allows your Dealer access to hundreds more cars - each one comprehensively checked, thoroughly prepared and backed with all the guarantees of the Proven brand.

Vehicles comply with their original new Subaru specification and any replacement items are, of course, Subaru approved, conforming precisely with the original specification of the vehicle.

When you buy a Subaru Direct car from an authorised UK Subaru Dealer you can trust that the car you've chosen will meet the stringent criteria of the Proven programme. That's why all "Direct" vehicles pass through Subaru UK's preparation centre, where Subaru's professional team use all their experience to ensure that your car comes with complete peace of mind.

Every Subaru "Direct" car therefore receives :

• A preliminary vehicle inspection, assessment and evaluation.
• A comprehensive mechanical check or, the next manufacturers service ( for vehicles within 1500 miles of the next service interval, only).
• Extensive and thorough valeting, inside and out, for a fresh, crisp interior and gleaming bodywork.
• A final vehicle inspection to ensure that every aspect is right before your car is loaded onto the transporter.
