2014 Audi A8: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 91% pass first time (all 2014 cars: 70%) Nothing stands out above the usual rate 246 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 91% pass first time (all 2014 cars: 70%) Nothing stands out above the usual rate 2,320 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
