This Q8 is a genuinely reliable performer—a 90.7% first-time MOT pass rate sits well above the UK average of 80%, and dangerous defects show up in just 5.2% of vehicles, which is reassuringly low. The petrol engine (which accounts for all but one vehicle in this cohort) keeps things straightforward with no notable reliability splits to worry about.

At just over 26,000 miles average for a two-year-old car, these examples are running well within typical mileage expectations, and the near-zero failure rate (0.1 per vehicle) combined with light advisory work (0.7 per vehicle) suggests the model isn't prone to early wear issues. If you're considering one, get a full service history inspection and have a pre-purchase survey focus on the dual-mass flywheel and transmission, as these are common Audi pressure points even on strong-performing models.
