The AUDI A4 (2005-08) 4DR SALOON 2.7 TDI 180 SE is a four-door, mid-size premium saloon: a more traditional alternative to a hatchback or SUV. It sits in Britain’s competitive used executive-car market, where it rivals the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and offers a smart, understated choice. It is best suited to commuters and couples or families wanting comfortable longer-distance travel, useful rear doors and a refined feel. The 2.7-litre diesel brings strong, relaxed performance, while SE trim gives the A4 a balance of comfort and everyday usability. Running costs and condition depend on age and maintenance. mycarcheck.com records 22 look-ups covering 11 VINs, so this is a modest sample rather than a complete picture. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £1,200, 144,000 miles, 6,000 miles annually and four previous keepers. These figures suggest mature, well-used examples; inspect service history and check the car’s condition before buying.
