The AUDI A8 (2013-18) 4DR SALOON QUATTRO 3.0 TDI DPFR SS 262 EU6 SE TIP AUTO8 is a large luxury saloon, positioned near the top of the UK executive-car market. It offers an alternative to an SUV for drivers valuing comfort, space and understated prestige over a small runabout. Mycarcheck.com records are based on a modest sample: eight look-ups covering five different VINs, so they offer a snapshot rather than a full market picture. The cars checked averaged 108,000 miles, 19,000 miles a year and three previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation was £11,000 in the recorded checks overall. The 3.0-litre diesel, automatic gearbox and quattro all-wheel drive make this A8 well suited to long-distance commuting and comfortable business travel, while its roomy cabin can also serve families. Against rivals such as the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class, it is known for discreet luxury and composed, confident progress.
