2017 Audi A8 3.0L Diesel · KT66 SZX

This 2017 Audi A8 presents with an exceptionally low mileage of 26,000 miles, averaging less than 3,000 miles per year. While this suggests the vehicle has seen light usage, the significant jump in mileage between 2025 and 2026 indicates the car has recently been put back into more regular service after a long period of very minimal use. The MOT history is generally clean, showing a stable maintenance trend with very few recorded defects over the last five years. The issues identified in 2022 and 2026 are limited to tyres, which are consumable items rather than systemic mechanical failures. The recent note regarding the nearside front tyre being worn on the edge suggests that the vehicle may benefit from a professional wheel alignment check, as uneven wear can sometimes point to alignment settings that have drifted during the car's periods of inactivity. The primary risk with a vehicle of this age and low mileage is the potential for rubber components, seals, and bushings to have degraded or perished due to age and lack of regular movement, rather than high-mileage wear. Because the car sat for long stretches between 2021 and 2023, you should be mindful that some components may have aged prematurely despite the low odometer reading. Overall, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained and shows no evidence of chronic mechanical issues or a worsening trend in its MOT history. The clean passes in 2021, 2023, and 2025 are encouraging signs of a well-cared-for luxury saloon. For your physical inspection, you should prioritize checking the condition of the tyres for signs of sidewall cracking or dry rot, as these are common in low-mileage vehicles that have stood for long periods.
