Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- You regularly make longer journeys: diesel may fit that pattern better than a routine of mostly short trips. Compare actual running costs.
- You would prefer less gear changing in traffic: the recorded automatic transmission may suit. Try how this exact gearbox behaves on a test drive.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- Most journeys are short school runs or local trips: check whether this diesel has a particulate filter and what longer runs its handbook requires.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 13 years old and 69,466 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
- You need servicing to fit a tight budget: Spanner estimates higher maintenance costs for this type. Get quotes for the exact engine and gearbox before committing.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
Most 2013 A8s in Europe come with the 3.0 TDI V6 (or occasionally larger diesel) and the ZF 8-speed automatic, often with quattro AWD and optional air suspension. Diesel-specific items to watch are the DPF and EGR for soot build-up from short trips, and the air suspension compressor/spheres which can be costly if they fail. Parts and specialist servicing are widely available in Ireland, but labour and component costs are higher than for mainstream brands and depreciation on large luxury saloons is steep.
- Automatic transmission behaviour and service history — no jerky shifts, slipping or delayed engagement; ask for transmission oil/service receipts.
- DPF and EGR condition — signs of frequent short-trip use, visible smoke at start, and evidence of successful regenerations.
- Air suspension and compressor operation — check ride height, listen for long-running compressor cycles and for sagging at each corner.
- Turbo and oil consumption — watch for blue smoke, excessive oil use, and boost leaks from intercooler hoses.
- All electrical items and driver aids — test MMI/infotainment, parking sensors/camera, adaptive cruise and soft-close doors for faults.
