A used Audi A7 Sportback offers space, performance, quality and refinement, but its ride comfort and infotainment aren’t so impressive

What should I look for in a used Audi A7?

The A7 is a motorway monster, capable of eating up the miles, so check for stone chips on the front of the body and the windscreen. Also, check bodywork for damage picked up in city centre car parks and the alloy wheels for any kerb damage.

Is a used Audi A7 reliable?

It certainly is if our 2023 used car reliability survey for cars between six and 20 years old is anything to go by. Respondents said the Audi A7 was the most reliable used luxury car on the road, and awarded it a 90.1% rating. It certainly performed better than the average Audi in our poll - in our list of the most reliable used car makers, Audi finished 14th out of 30.
