Default High Mileage D4's

Greetings to all, I just want to find out what mileage numbers forum members have on their A8's and any issues thus far.
I have 56k miles on my 2011, and so far my issues have been:

Check engine light
Replaced leaky right front air strut
Replaced swaybar suspension bushings
Replaced faulty front rotors
Replaced faulty steering column

I would appreciate any input from fellow members. Thanks!

90,000 miles on our 2012 Audi A8L

Repairs under 100k warranty:
- Driveshaft (vibration)
- Left rear suspension (blew)

Routine maintenance
- Rotors, brakes
- Oil/filer
- Tires
- Winter wheels/tires
- Brake fluid flush
- Air filter change


Otherwise this car is rock solid so far!

I bought my A8L with 61K on it. I now have 67K.

Loven' every minute of it. This car is bad azz.

It drives like its on rails at 100mph. Wow.

Going in for my first service appointment. No problems so far.

Knock on wood.

2015 A8L with just under 13k miles. Only issue is right rear door sun shade doesn't close completely---motor needs replacement. New motor and shade assembly on order (covered under warranty).
