Prioritise condition and service history over chasing a specific year — this is an older nameplate with no current-generation replacement to compare it against, so a well-kept example matters more than the plate.
A Hyundai Creta costs similar money with a more established dealer network for parts and servicing. The Hyundai Tucson is a size up with a mechanical fault rate below what we would expect for the class. A Haval Jolion is a newer Chinese-brand alternative if you would rather have current production and a live parts supply.
The S6s we inspect run to a median of around 135,000 km, a substantial distance for a car this age, and nothing in our checks points to a specific fault developing at that mileage.
Weigh the S6 against the Creta and the Tucson on CarSwitch — parts supply is the real question mark on a nameplate this old.
