Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
The primary point for negotiation on this vehicle is the tyre condition. The November 2025 MOT explicitly noted that both nearside and offside front tyres were worn close to the legal limit, following a previous failure for the same issue in 2024. Ensure that a fresh set of premium tyres has been fitted before purchase, as the Quattro system requires specific tyre specifications to operate correctly.
Beyond tyres, verify the full service history for the 2967cc MHEV diesel engine. While the mileage is low, ensuring the oil change intervals have been adhered to is critical for the longevity of the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and the mild-hybrid system.
As a high-capacity 3.0L diesel, this A8 sits in a higher tax bracket and insurance group than standard executive cars. While the MHEV system assists with fuel efficiency, the overall running costs remain high due to the premium nature of the vehicle's components and the cost of replacing large-diameter tyres.
Typical maintenance for this model includes expensive brake wear items and complex electronic system updates. Owners should budget for higher-than-average servicing costs compared to smaller Audi models.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the tyres. The MOT history reveals a pattern of front tyre wear, with a failure in November 2024 (offside front below 1.6mm) and advisories in November 2025 for both front tyres. Check for uneven wear patterns, which could suggest an alignment issue common in heavy luxury saloons.
Inspect the black paintwork for any imperfections and test the operation of the Quattro all-wheel-drive system. Given the low mileage, check for any signs of battery degradation or MHEV system warnings on the dashboard during a cold start.
This black 2021 Audi A8 S Line 50TDI MHEV Quattro has recorded 26,443 miles as of its November 2025 MOT, which is significantly lower than the model average. The MOT history shows one failure in 2024 and advisories in 2025, both specifically concerning front tyre tread depth. Aside from these consumable items, the vehicle has a consistent pass record.
Based on aggregate data from 29 vehicles, this model has a respectable average MOT pass rate of 89.6%.
