High Mileage Audi A4 S line with S-tronic

[dgdavis1]

Hi….I am looking at buying a 2017 Audi A4 S line, the car has spent 5 years on the motorways and covers 188k in that time, full service history and looks new both inside and out, £10950….is this a good buy?

Sounds like a lot of miles, even for me. Which engine is it?

Hi, it’s the 2.0 TDI, 150hp

I’d say it’s fine if you’re comfortable with its maintenance and you intend to run it to it’s death so not bothered about selling it again.

However I’d personally run a mile as I can’t believe there would be much of that purchase value remaining in 50k miles of use. I’m sure even in this inflated market there are literally hundreds of better options.

Probably got a good few years/miles left in it...assume you will keep until it dies!?
How many miles a year will you be doing in it?
I'd have some funds set aside for wear&tear part replacement - brakes and suspension mainly.
Evidence of gearbox oil changes would be an absolute must, I believe the interval is 2yr/40k, over and above a proper service record.

Any idea of its previous life? ex-lease car so in theory sat on the motorway all day, every day. Or ex private hire?

Cheers,
