The AUDI A4 (2008-12) 4DR SALOON 1.8 TFSI 160 EXECUTIVE SE is a premium, four-door family saloon, aimed at buyers wanting a smart, comfortable alternative to mainstream family cars. It sits in the same class as the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, with a more understated, refined character on UK roads. Its 160hp petrol engine offers brisk, relaxed progress for commuting, business travel and family journeys, while Executive SE trim adds a well-appointed feel. A tidy cabin, composed ride and smart image are key attractions; it is less overtly sporty than some rivals, but an appealing all-rounder for longer trips. mycarcheck.com recorded 1,408 look-ups across 497 different VINs, a substantial sample. Its checks show an average private-sale value of £3,300, average recorded mileage of 109,000 and annual use of 7,000 miles. With nearly five previous keepers on average, check each car’s history carefully; condition and maintenance matter more than the badge alone.
