Buying Tips for the Audi Q8 (4M8)

  • Check the massive frameless doors for wind noise at motorway speeds
  • Verify the 48V mild-hybrid system is healthy, as alternator failures are a known VW Group wide issue
  • Inspect the large 21- or 22-inch alloy wheels for kerb damage, as replacements and premium tyres are extremely costly
