The AUDI A8 (2010-13) 4DR SALOON QUATTRO 4.2 TDI CR DPF 350 EU5 SPORT EXECUTIVE TIP AUTO8 is a premium four-door saloon sitting at the top end of Audi’s range. It pairs a diesel engine and automatic transmission with four-wheel drive, making it an alternative to the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Its spacious cabin and ride suit long motorway journeys, executive travel and chauffeur duties; it can also work for a family seeking comfort and room. The Sport Executive trim gives it a purposeful feel, while quattro traction can add confidence. Running costs, size and parking may be less appealing in town. mycarcheck.com records only three checks, covering one VIN, so its figures are a snapshot rather than a market-wide guide. Reported figures include an average private-sale valuation of £9,300, 144,000 recorded miles, 12,000 miles a year and one previous keeper. Used A8 buyers should check history and condition.
