Our Verdict
A potentially solid option for those see
When inspecting this 3.0L diesel A8, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history to complement the clean MOT record. Since the MOT history shows no defects, you should look for evidence of scheduled maintenance that goes beyond basic emissions and safety checks, particularly for a high-specification luxury vehicle of this age.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at 135,292 miles, it has exceeded the statistical average for this model type. Check for any signs of wear in the interior and ensure the electronic systems, common in this era of Audi, are fully operational. Ask the seller for specific details regarding any major component replacements, such as timing belts or suspension parts.
Running this 2967cc diesel engine will involve significant costs compared to smaller vehicles. Expect higher fuel consumption typical of a heavy luxury saloon, though the diesel engine is generally more efficient for motorway cruising. Tax and insurance groups for an Audi A8 of this specification are typically high.
Maintenance costs for this model can be substantial due to the complexity of its systems. While the MOT history shows no recent failures, you should budget for potential repairs to components like suspension arms or tyres, which are identified as common failure points for this model aggregate. Estimated annual running costs are likely to be higher than a standard family car.
Given the aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the tyres and headlamps, as these are top reasons for MOT failures in the wider Audi A8 sample. Even though this specific vehicle has passed without defects recently, these are common wear items that should be checked for tread depth and clarity.
Additionally, inspect the suspension system thoroughly. The model aggregate data highlights suspension arms as a frequent failure point. Look for any knocks, bangs, or uneven tyre wear that might suggest impending component failure, regardless of the clean recent MOT history.
This 2010 Audi A8, finished in black, has covered 135,292 miles as of its last MOT in October 2025. The vehicle has maintained a consistent record of passing its MOT tests annually since 2021 without any recorded defects or failures. While the mileage is higher than the model's aggregate average annual mileage of 8,126, the recent history shows a steady pattern of use.
The Audi A8 shows an average MOT pass rate of 89.0% across 13,825 analysed vehicles, with suspension and lighting being common areas of concern.

Air struts leak and the compressor burns out trying to compensate. This is a common and expensive reality of aging luxury cars.
- 3.0 TDI Timing Chain RattleSerious
The V6 TDI timing chains sit at the rear of the engine and can stretch, creating cold-start rattle and requiring gearbox removal for repair.
