Why buy approved?

All Audi vehicles benefit from superior build-quality and finish. We check the areas you can see as well as the ones you can't.

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.

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
• Whether the vehicle has had a number plate change

We also independently check the vehicle’s mileage.

As another strand of our commitment to vehicle provenance, we will provide you with a service history certificate at the time of vehicle handover, detailing all routine servicing work that has been done by the Authorised Audi Centre network.

The certificate also verifies the following:

• Vehicle registration number
• Vehicle chassis number
• Vehicle description
• Colour
• Engine number
• The status of the vehicle's warranty

All the checks and double-checks should give you real reassurance. And even further still, Audi operates a 30 day exchange policy - so in the unlikely event of an irreparable fault occurring within 30 days/1,000 miles (whichever occurs sooner) – we will offer you an exchange. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Also included as part of the 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. What more could you ask for?
