2016 Audi R8 + Selection 24H Quat V10 SA 5.2L Petrol · UOI 1

Running costs for this 5.2L V10 model will be significantly higher than a standard passenger vehicle. Fuel economy is expected to be low, and the 'Other' fuel type designation (likely referring to high-octane petrol) implies a requirement for premium fuel. Insurance groups for the R8 are typically very high, reflecting both the vehicle's value and performance capabilities.

Maintenance costs can be substantial, particularly for specialist components related to the Quattro system and the V10 engine. While the MOT history shows no current defects, any mechanical repairs on this model will require specialist Audi technicians. Expect an estimated annual running cost to be high, primarily driven by insurance and the potential for high-cost maintenance items.

Since the MOT history shows no recorded defects or failures across all tests from 2022 to 2025, there are no specific recurring mechanical issues to flag from the official records. However, for a vehicle that has covered such minimal mileage (under 1,000 miles in recent years), you should inspect the tyres for age-related cracking or flat spots caused by long periods of inactivity.

Examine the braking system carefully; even with low mileage, brake discs can develop surface corrosion if the vehicle is not driven regularly. Additionally, check all rubber seals and suspension components for signs of perishing, which can occur in vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods. Given the 5204cc engine size, ensure there are no signs of fluid leaks around the engine bay that might have been missed during stationary inspections.
