Typical Price Range
All prices are approximate and subject to change based on condition, mileage, specification, and market conditions.
- 2010–2014 (D4 generation): £8,000 – £16,000 — Earlier D4 models offer significant luxury for less, but inspect service history carefully.
- 2015–2017 (D4 facelift): £15,000 – £28,000 — Facelifted D4s feature updated tech and styling, representing a strong value proposition.

Common Issues to Check
- Air suspension faults: Check for warning lights or uneven ride height, as repairs can be costly.
- MMI (Multi Media Interface) glitches: Screen freezing or navigation issues are not uncommon in older models.
- Electrical gremlins: Advanced electronics mean more potential points of failure, so check all systems are working.
- Diesel particulate filter (DPF) issues: Common in diesel models, especially those used for short, urban trips (relevant for ULEZ areas).
- Tyre wear: Large, heavy cars with powerful engines can go through tyres quickly; check all four are evenly worn and from reputable brands.
Running Costs
- Fuel Economy: 25-40 mpg (depending on engine – diesels typically towards the higher end, petrols lower)
- Insurance Group: Group 40-50 (reflecting its luxury status and repair costs)
- Servicing: Main dealer servicing can be expensive; specialist independent garages often offer better value for money. Ensure a full service history is available for MOT and V5C peace of mind.
Which Variant Should I Choose?
- 3.0 TDI quattro: Ideal for those covering high mileage, offering a good balance of power, economy, and legendary quattro all-wheel drive stability. Great for long British motorways.
- 4.2 TDI quattro (D4): For drivers seeking effortless power and immense torque without sacrificing too much fuel economy. A truly potent diesel option for the discerning enthusiast.
- 3.0 TFSI quattro: A smoother, more refined petrol option, often preferred by those in ULEZ zones or who prioritise quiet cruising. Still offers strong performance for a luxury saloon.
- S8 (D4/D5): The ultimate performance variant, featuring a potent V8 engine. Suits enthusiasts who desire supercar-rivalling performance wrapped in a discreet, luxury saloon body. Expect higher running costs across the board.
