Audi A4 Avant (B8) in the used car test

The upscale sales force used the fourth generation of the middle class Audi A4 avant (2008 to 2015) with preference. Six and a half years later, the black metallic painted station wagon is attractive for surprisingly little money. The independent dealer Heidekreis Automobile near Soltau (Lower Saxony) calls for 11,000 euros. So are there four rings at a bargain price?

Our first approved in September 2015 Audi A4 Avant 2.0 TDI is one of the last built copies of the generation B8. Newly configured and with a few extras, it costs 45,285 euros according to the Schwacke database: In addition to MMI navigation with a seven-inch infotainment screen, there are seat heating, cruise control, deluxe automatic air conditioning, center armrest and xenon headlights on board. But not the rather simple equipment, but the high mileage pushes the price.

Audi A4 Avant used: An eventful past life with high mileage

The digital counter recorded an enormous 292,785 kilometers. According to NaviListe, the one used by an IT service provider can apparently be used throughout northern Germany A4 not deny his eventful past. Several dents on the right fender, on the left doors and on the right rear wheel arch as well as scratched bumpers are evidence of careless use and little visual care. The 17-inch aluminum rims also look badly damaged by brake dust.

Cockpit with good ergonomics. The MMI Plus infotainment with high-resolution monitor and 3D navigation system cost extra, as did seat heating and a multifunction steering wheel.

The condition of the finely finished and still crackle-free interior is ambiguous: the steering wheel and seats would also take half the mileage, but deep scratches in the trunk lining and on the roof lining tapering towards the rear are evidence of many intensive loading and unloading manoeuvres.

Elimination of the extensive visual defects easily costs 2,500 euros in an independent body and paint shop. And at Audi, of course, significantly more.

Complete maintenance and the test drive is positive

Fortunately, the damage found does not change anything about the proper substance. In contrast to the optics, permanent investments were made in maintaining the technology. Until the end A4 seamlessly serviced by the Audi partner. However, the next service appointment would already be due in 3,200 kilometers. But until then he has A4 even a mobility guarantee! The test drive was correspondingly positive. The tightly tuned chassis does not rumble, the steering is pleasantly direct, and the circuit can also be guided precisely.

With the combination of a two-liter, 150 hp EA288 TDI engine and a six-speed manual gearbox, the A4 optimally prepared for long distances. In addition, the manual transmission is more robust than the alternatively available Multitronic transmission. Fast motorway stages are the well insulated A4 as before, but the propulsion is quite tough from speedometer 190.

Less than five liters is not rocket science for the TDI models

Engine-wise, the 2012 had a subtle facelift A4-Generation has the right drive alternative in stock for almost every taste and budget: from the rather sluggish 120 hp entry-level versions to the powerful three-liter six-cylinder to the V8 bolide RS 4 with a displacement of 4.2 liters and an output of 450 hp, the spread is sufficient. Most buyers are likely to be more interested in the good rust prevention and the decent economy of the durable TDI models.

Precise handling is one of the A4’s strengths, even after it has circumnavigated the world seven times.

Less than five liters of diesel consumption over land and on the highway is not rocket science. The “clean diesel” variant we tested, as a 2.0 TDI with SCR catalytic converter, at least meets the Euro 6b emissions standard. Attention: Many original spare parts are included Audi comparatively expensive. And the sensitive toothed belt should be changed every 210,000 kilometers at the latest. It may be relatively cheap to get started, but maintenance remains the same A4 Avant what it once was: premium middle class.
