Mazda is relaunching its Approved Used Car (AUC) scheme to offer customers a choice of three additional forms of cover to complement the original 12 months warranty package.

When purchasing a Mazda Approved Used Car, customers can now select from warranty & roadside assistance, warranty & MoT protection or warranty & key cover – free of charge – as part of the enhanced scheme.

Developed with its partner Allianz Global Assistance, formerly known as Mondial, the new programme brings fresh innovations to the Japanese manufacturer’s nationwide Approved Used Car scheme, and goes beyond the traditional benefits of most other used car schemes.

“Allianz Global Assistance’s focus on innovation ensures that Mazda’s AUC offering remains fresh and competitive, bringing our customers the ultimate in value and choice,” said Michael Stewart, used car and fleet marketing manager, Mazda UK.

In addition to the new three-way choice of extra cover, Mazda’s Approved Used Car programme promises buyers complete peace of mind with features that include: technical inspection, vehicle history and mileage check, 12 months unlimited mileage protection against breakdown and repair, 12 months Pan-European roadside assistance, ‘one-call’ accident and theft assistance, use of a replacement vehicle, a 30-day exchange scheme and the promise that all repairs will be conducted by Mazda-trained technicians using only genuine Mazda parts.

Mazda and Allianz Global Assistance have been working together over the last 12 years and these latest developments mark the partnership’s on-going commitment to developing cutting edge services that deliver genuine customer benefits.
