Kia Motors UK is planning to backdate its warranties as part of its new approved used car scheme.

All used cars under 18 months old, or with less than 15,000 miles on the clock, will have their warranty re-wound to what it was when new - be that three, five or seven years.

Andrew Sellers, Kia UK's head of fleet and remarketing said: “We are also offering a class leading 60-day exchange plan which no one has offered before. Along with multi point check and seven-day drive away insurance.”

Kia's new Approved Used Car Programme replaces the old scheme called Kudos.
