Used Audi A6 saloon cars for sale

The A6 uses many of the same parts and engines that have a proven record across dozens of other Audi and Volkswagen-Group models. Like many other premium cars, however, it doesn't tend to score extremely well in reliability surveys. For the most part, this is because more expensive cars tend to come equipped with more options and extras, which means there are more potential points of failure.

Audi offers a standard three-year factory warranty for the A6. For extra peace of mind, you can specify an extended warranty, which kicks in once the factory coverage expires. This will protect you from the cost of any unexpected mechanical or electrical failures.

The A6 is a large executive saloon packed with features and Audi is a premium, desirable brand. Both of these factors mean maintenance costs for the A6 will be a little higher than the average car, so you should expect to budget a bit more each year to keep it in working order.

It's worth keeping on top of your A6's maintenance and saving your receipts, because that will make sure your car is worth as much as possible when you come to sell it. Missed services and deferred maintenance can easily knock thousands off the value of your car – far more than those services would've cost in the first place.
