Our Verdict
This 2016 Audi A8 represents a well-docu
When inspecting this A8, focus heavily on the suspension and electrical systems, as these are common areas of concern for this model. Given the 125,011-mile reading, ensure you have access to a full service history to verify that the complex 4.0-litre engine has received regular oil changes and maintenance beyond the annual MOT requirements.
Negotiate the purchase price based on the immediate need for new tyres, as noted in the 2026 MOT. It is also advisable to check the condition of the air suspension, as any leaks or compressor issues can be costly to rectify on this specific platform.
As a 4.0-litre petrol luxury saloon, this vehicle falls into the higher tax brackets and will be expensive to fuel, especially given the engine's performance orientation. Insurance will be in a high group, reflecting the vehicle's value and performance capability.
Maintenance costs for an Audi A8 of this age and mileage should not be underestimated. Budgeting for premium tyres, complex electronic diagnostics, and potential suspension repairs is essential. Expect annual running costs, including fuel, insurance, and maintenance, to be in the region of £3,500–£4,500 depending on annual usage.
The most recent MOT highlights tyre wear on both the front and rear axles. Inspect the tyres carefully for uneven wear patterns, which can sometimes indicate alignment issues or worn suspension bushings—a common failure point for the A8 model.
Beyond the tyres, test all onboard technology, including the MMI infotainment system and climate control, as these are complex and expensive to repair. Check for any signs of fluid leaks under the engine bay and ensure the transmission shifts smoothly through all gears during a test drive.
This black 4.0-litre petrol Audi A8 has covered 125,011 miles since its registration in June 2016. The vehicle has maintained a clean MOT record from 2022 through 2025, with only minor tyre-related advisories noted in the most recent May 2026 test. It offers a high-performance specification, though potential buyers should account for the costs associated with a high-mileage luxury vehicle.
The Audi A8 generally performs in line with luxury segment expectations, though it is susceptible to the common failure points of tyres and suspension components identified in our aggregate data.
