Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the extremely low mileage, the priority should be verifying the service history. Ensure the vehicle has had regular oil and filter changes regardless of distance traveled, as the 5.2L engine requires consistent lubrication to maintain health. Check for evidence of professional storage to ensure the car has not been subject to dampness or battery degradation.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres; even with low tread wear, tyres on a vehicle this age with such low mileage may be nearing their expiry date. Verify that the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is fully operational, as this was a point of failure in 2023.
Running costs for this vehicle will be high, driven primarily by the 5167cc engine. Expect significant expenditure on fuel and a high annual road tax bracket. Insurance will also be substantial given the vehicle's performance capabilities and insurance group.
Maintenance costs for the R8 are typically higher than standard Audi models due to the specialist nature of the V10 engine and the cost of high-performance consumables. The estimated annual running cost reflects these premium requirements.
Pay close attention to the lighting systems, specifically the dipped beams on the nearside headlamp, as this caused a failure in 2023 and is listed as a top failure reason for the model overall. Ensure the tyre pressure monitoring system is functioning correctly and not illuminating on the dashboard.
Inspect the tyres for any flat spots or sidewall cracking, which can occur when a high-performance vehicle sits stationary for long periods. Finally, check the road wheel fixings for any signs of corrosion or damage, as this is another common failure point identified in aggregate model data.
This 2017 white Audi R8 is an exceptionally low-mileage example, with only 2,463 miles recorded at its most recent MOT in January 2026. Its testing history shows four passes and one failure in 2023, which is consistent with the high aggregate pass rate of 92.4% seen across the model range. The vehicle's low usage suggests it has been used primarily for leisure.
The R8 maintains a strong reliability reputation, evidenced by a high average MOT pass rate of 92.4% across 4,646 analysed vehicles.
