BYD Sime Motors has spread its venture with the introduction of BYD Certified—the brand’s first official BYD certified pre-owned EV programme in Malaysia.
This introduction coincides with the launch of the first BYD Certified outlet in the Asia-Pacific region, located at Sime Darby Auto Selection Glenmarie, which just completed its first customer delivery with the handover of a pre-owned BYD Atto 3.
More Than a Regular Pre-Owned Programme
More than a conventional preowned programme, BYD Certified is said to raise the standard for pre-owned EV ownership in Malaysia, where every vehicle is professionally inspected, backed by verified battery health assessments, warranty coverage, financing solutions, and aftersales support.
Guided by its promise to “Drive Pre-Owned with Confidence”, the BYD Certified programme is built upon five assurance pillars that aim to provide customers with greater certainty when purchasing a pre-owned EV.
- 170 Points of Inspection: Each car undergoes a comprehensive professional inspection process
- Mileage Promise: Only vehicles with mileage below 100,000 km qualify for certification
- Vehicle Age Not Exceeding 4 Years: Certified vehicles must not exceed 4 years of age and must meet defined mileage thresholds (1 year / ≤30,000 km, 2 years / ≤60,000 km, 3 years / ≤90,000 km, 4 years / ≤100,000 km)
- Certified Clean History: Guaranteed free from major accidents, with no fire damage, no flood damage, and no odometer tampering
- Original Manufacturer Parts: Refurbishment is carried out using genuine BYD parts and approved repair standards
5-Day Buy-Back Assurance
Among other highlights for the BYD Certified pre-owned programme is the 5-day buy-back assurance, where customers are entitled to a full buy-back at the original purchase price if undisclosed structural, flood or fire damage is identified within 5 days of delivery.
And just like owning a new BYD EV, pre-owned EVs sold under this programme will also be covered with service and warranty coverage across BYD’s authorised 3S dealer network in Malaysia.
“BYD Certified represents an important step in making EV ownership more accessible to Malaysians. As the EV market continues to mature, we are seeing growing interest from customers seeking quality pre-owned vehicles backed by assurance and professional support,” said Jacob Ma, managing director of BYD Malaysia.
Meanwhile, Adeline Yew, managing director of BYD Sime Motors, said, “BYD Certified is built on rigorous quality standards and transparent vehicle verification. Every certified pre-owned BYD undergoes a comprehensive inspection by trained technicians and is supported by verified vehicle history records, battery health assessments and warranty coverage.”
Customers can now visit the first BYD Certified outlet at Sime Darby Auto Selection Glenmarie, where selected certified pre-owned BYD models are available subject to stock availability.
