2008 Audi A8 3.0L Diesel · GR57 EMK

The most recent MOT, conducted in October 2023, showed significant tyre wear issues on all four tyres, with cracking or perishing noted on the nearside rear, offside front, and offside rear tyres. A recurring mechanical pattern involves wear and tear on suspension components, specifically the upper suspension arm pins or bushes were noted in the 2021 inspection. Brake discs have also shown wear over time, with the nearside front inner disc being worn and pitted in 2020 and 2021. The condition trend appears to be worsening, as the most recent MOT highlighted serious tyre degradation, suggesting ongoing wear on rubber components. The mileage of 174,671 miles for a vehicle of this age suggests a level of use that is typical for its age, indicating normal wear on consumables and drivetrain parts. A buyer should immediately inspect the condition of all four tyres for signs of cracking or perishing. Secondly, thoroughly check the suspension components, paying close attention to the upper arm pins and bushes noted in previous inspections, to assess any signs of excessive movement or damage. Finally, inspect the brake discs for any signs of severe pitting or scoring beyond what was recorded in the history.
