Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a
When inspecting this SQ8, focus on the service history to ensure the complex 3,996cc engine has been maintained according to Audi's strict schedules. Because the mileage is considerably higher than the aggregate average for this model, verify that all major service intervals have been met.
Negotiate based on the mileage; while the MOT history is defect-free, the high usage suggests it may have been used for long-distance motorway commuting. Check the condition of the Black Edition specific trim and large alloy wheels for any signs of heavy use.
Running this 4.0L petrol engine will be expensive. Expect high fuel consumption typical of a performance SUV, alongside a high insurance group and potentially expensive tax brackets.
Maintenance costs for the SQ8 are generally higher than standard Audi models due to the performance components and larger braking systems. Budget for premium tyres, as 'tyre' issues are a common failure point for this model aggregate. Estimated annual costs will be substantial.
While the recent MOTs for SD71WTY show no defects, you should pay close attention to the tyres, as this is a top failure reason for the SQ8 model aggregate. Check for even tread wear which could indicate suspension issues.
Given the engine size, listen for any irregularities during a cold start and check that all electronic systems are functioning, as 'engine mil inoperative' is a noted failure reason in the wider model data. Inspect the brake pads and discs closely, as high-performance braking systems on heavy SUVs can see rapid wear.
This 2021 Audi SQ8 Black Edition presents with 59,244 miles on the clock, which is significantly higher than the model average of 8,321 miles per year. The MOT history is notably clean, with the 2024 and 2025 tests passing with no defects recorded. Given its 4.0L TFSI engine and high-specification Black Edition trim, it offers a premium proposition but carries the higher running costs associated with large-capacity petrol engines.
The SQ8 model aggregate shows a high MOT pass rate of 91.1%, though common failure points include tyres and engine management lights.
