AUDI A82016 · 4.0L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a sign of decline regarding consumable upkeep. In the most recent test on May 8, 2026 at 125,011 miles, the car presented advisories for both front and rear inner tyres being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges. This indicates a potential alignment issue or suspension wear that was not present in the clean records of the previous years. The mileage pattern reflects consistent high-frequency usage, averaging approximately 12,500 miles per year over the ten-year period. Between April 2022 (73,129 miles) and May 2026 (125,011 miles), the vehicle covered over 51,000 miles, maintaining a steady annual accumulation. While the lack of recorded defects between 2022 and 2025 suggests a period of mechanical stability, the high-mileage profile places significant strain on the drivetrain and complex air systems typical of a luxury flagship saloon like the A8. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front and rear suspension geometry. The edge-wear noted on the tyres in the 2026 test strongly suggests that worn bushes, control arms, or shocks may require adjustment or replacement to prevent rapid tyre degradation. Given the mileage, specific attention should also be paid to the condition of the brake discs and the integrity of the air suspension, as these components are common points of failure at thision.
