Audi's Approved Used Scheme

Scheme name: The Audi Approved Used Car Programme.

Warranty period: 12 months.

Age of cars covered: Under five years / 80,000 miles.

What does the warranty cover? All major mechanical and electrical systems.

History check? "As part of the Approved Used Car Programme, you can rest assured that the Audi you buy will have a clean, completely transparent record. You'll receive a certificate confirming that the following provenance checks have been carried out and independently verified: The vehicle's engine and chassis number records; the date of first registration is correct; the vehicle is free from outstanding finance charges; the vehicle has not been stolen; the vehicle has not been written off and whether the vehicle has had a number plate change. We also independently check the vehicle's mileage."

Inspection? "Before it makes the grade as an Approved Used Audi, every pre-owned Audi model must pass over 100 thorough inspections. An Audi technician makes separate mechanical, interior and exterior checks, conducts a full road-test and prepares a detailed written report which is available for your assessment. Should the multi-point check highlight any irregularities, we will undertake rectification work, ensuring the car meets our meticulous standards before it reaches the forecourt. Most importantly, we only use Audi Original parts."

Breakdown Cover: "Also included as part of the Approved Used programme is the backing of a 12 month Audi Guarantee, which includes Audi Roadside Assistance to provide any necessary help at the roadside, with consequential expense cover for items such as car hire and hotel accommodation."

Exchange policy: Audi Approved Used offers a 30 days/1,000 miles (whichever occurs sooner) exchange policy that does not affect your statutory rights."
