Our Verdict
Proceed with caution regarding tyre maintenance, but otherwise a solid option. The vehicle shows low mileage for its age, though recurring tyre wear issues suggest a need for a suspension check.
When inspecting this specific Blue Audi A8, your primary focus should be on the wheel alignment and suspension components. The MOT history shows a trend of uneven tyre wear from 2023 through to 2025, which often points to geometry issues rather than just poor tyre choice. Ask the seller for evidence of a recent four-wheel alignment check.
Given the high-specification nature of the A8, ensure that any service history provided aligns with the low mileage recorded. While the MOTs have passed, they do not confirm the mechanical health of the 2995cc engine or the complex electronics typical of this model. Negotiate based on the fact that the most recent MOT noted both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit.
As a large 3.0L petrol executive saloon, running costs will be higher than average. Expect higher fuel consumption compared to smaller diesel counterparts, though the Euro 6 status helps with ULEZ and CAZ compliance. Insurance groups for the A8 are typically high due to the vehicle's value and repair costs.
Maintenance costs on this model can be significant, particularly regarding tyres and suspension parts, which are listed as top failure reasons for this model aggregate. An estimated annual budget should account for premium fuel, higher-than-average insurance, and the potential for expensive component repairs common to luxury saloons.
You must specifically inspect the front tyres and the condition of the suspension arms. The MOT history for this vehicle shows nearside front tyre abnormalities in 2024 and both front tyres being worn close to the limit in 2025. This pattern suggests a persistent issue with alignment or suspension geometry.
Additionally, keep in mind that 'suspension arm' is a top MOT failure reason for the Audi A8 model aggregate. Check for any knocks or knocks when driving over uneven surfaces and inspect the tyre tread patterns for any signs of 'feathering' or uneven outer-edge wear, which would corroborate the MOT advisory notes.
This 2020 Audi A8 presents with relatively low mileage, having covered 17,703 miles since its first registration in January 2020. While the MOT history shows consistent passes, there is a recurring pattern of tyre wear issues noted in the last three annual tests. The vehicle's petrol 3.0L engine and Euro 6 status make it a modern, compliant choice for many UK environments.
The Audi A8 model aggregate shows an 89.1% MOT pass rate, with common failures frequently involving tyres, headlamps, and suspension arms.
