Description

For Sale: 2003 Audi A8 4.2 Petrol - Full History | High Spec | Refreshed Example Mileage: 133,000 miles Owners: 3 previous owners MOT: Valid until December 2025 - all advisories addressed This is a well-maintained and increasingly rare 2003 Audi A8 4.2 petrol with a full service history, predominantly with Audi main dealers. The timing belt and tensioners have been changed twice in its life, with receipts as proof, including most recently in March 2025. This engine is the more reliable belt driven V8 (pre-FSI), it doesn't suffer the same issues as the later FSI engines. Ownership & Background: As an enthusiast I purchased the car privately in January 2025 with the goal of giving it a mechanical and cosmetic refresh to ensure long-term reliability. It's a genuinely excellent drive with no warning lights, no mechanical faults. The air suspension functions perfectly - the rear airbags were upgraded by a previous owner to Bilstein air suspension. Recent Work (with receipts): New timing belt and tensioner New starter motor New battery CV boots replaced Valve cover gasket and cam caps replaced New auxiliary belt Oil and filter service Premium tyres fitted all round Full machine polish of bodywork High Specification for the Year: Factory TV tuner Audi built-in mobile phone system Keyless start Fingerprint scanner Bose audio system Adaptive air suspension Negatives (fully transparent): Alloys could benefit from a refurbishment Driver's seat bolster has a rip - professionally quoted 100 for repair Rear door speaker covers are cracked - sourcing matching replacements currently, does not affect sound but is purely cosmetic. Interior could benefit from a full detailing to remove stubborn age-related stains. This is a rare opportunity to own a well-sorted and distinctive example of the D3 A8, which still turns heads and drives beautifully. It's ready to enjoy.
