2016 Audi A8 4.1L Diesel · N10 LAN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows signs of worsening wear in specific mechanical areas. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025, the inspector identified worn bushes and bent lower arms on both front suspension sides. This indicates that while the car is safe for the road, the suspension assembly is reaching the end of its service life and will likely require attention soon to prevent further degradation. The mileage pattern is significantly high for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging nearly 16,000 miles per year. There was a notable spike in usage between October 2022 and October 2023, where the car covered over 17,000 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation, combined with the total distance of over 158,000 miles, places substantial strain on the complex drivetrain and chassis components compared to a lower-mileage luxury saloon. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as the recurring mentions of worn bushes and arms suggest a pattern of fatigue. Given the high mileage, it is also vital to check the condition of the brakes and tyres, as the history shows frequent issues with thin pads and multiple tyres reaching the legal limit simultaneously. Furthermore, the buyer should Ensure that engine covers and undertrays are properly secured, as a previous test noted these were preventing a full inspection of the lower undercarriage.
