6 years? This is amazing!
In Germany, it's 2 years of statutory warranty (Gewährleistung), but there's a shift in the burden of proof (Beweislastumkehr) after 6 months, so if the retailer insists, it's up to you to prove that a defect was actually present when you bought the item.
We talk a lot about the throwaway society and about planned obsolence, but six years of statutory warranty could actually change something.
