Our Verdict
A strong candidate for those seeking a l
Prioritise a review of the full service history, specifically looking for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, which are critical for the 3.0L diesel engine at this mileage. Given the repeated tyre advisories noted in the MOT history from 2022 to 2024, verify the current brand and tread depth of all four tyres to ensure they have been replaced with quality rubber.
Negotiate based on the upcoming maintenance requirements for a vehicle of this complexity. Ensure all electronic systems and the infotainment are fully operational, as these can be costly to repair on the A8 platform.
The 2967cc diesel engine provides efficient long-distance cruising but will incur higher road tax and insurance premiums typical of the A8 range. Fuel costs will be significant for urban use, though the diesel economy is generally favourable for motorway mileage.
Maintenance costs for this model can be high, particularly regarding the sophisticated suspension and braking systems. Expect an annual budget that accounts for premium parts and specialised labour required for Audi's flagship saloon.
Closely inspect the tyres; the MOT history shows a pattern of wear on both the rear tyres (2022, 2023) and front tyres (2024). Check for uneven wear which could indicate alignment issues. Additionally, inspect the headlamps and suspension arms, as these are identified as top failure reasons for this model in aggregate data.
Examine the black paintwork for any signs of age-related deterioration and check the interior leather for wear consistent with 110,000 miles. Ensure the vehicle's air suspension (if equipped) operates smoothly without unusual noise or sagging.
This black 2013 Audi A8 has recorded 110,864 miles and has passed its last five MOT tests. While the record shows no failures, there were recurring advisories for tyre wear on both the front and rear axles between 2022 and 2024. It represents a high-specification diesel luxury vehicle with mileage that is broadly in line with expectations for its age.
The Audi A8 maintains a respectable average MOT pass rate of 89.1% across nearly 14,000 analysed vehicles.
