Default 2015 Allroad

(First) I'm new to the Vin Code/Naming i have seen it being called the C7 allroad and the b8 allroad so which one is it?
(Second) i own a 2016 gti and i will be looking to purchase a used allroad from 2014-2016 is there anything i should be on the look out for? like issues or concerns
(Third) i don't put a ton of miles on my Cars i work from home so the most i drive to is around town and to the city once and a while i average about 7k miles a year.
(Fourth) The allroads iv been looking at are from the years 2014-16 and the miles are 60k-73k and they're asking around 20k-26k depending on the years and options is that a good or bad deal?
Any advice is greatly appreciated i look forward to joining the Allroad community thanks!!

(First) The A4 based allroad that was available in the US from 2013-2016 is the B8 or B8.5 platform. C7 is the A6 based allroad that is not available in the US.
(Second) I currently own a 2016 R so we're looking for the same thing apparently. It seems like they are generally pretty reliable but that's what I came here for to find out.
(Fourth) It seems like low $20's is the going rate for 60-70k mile allroads and is on par with say the BMW 3 series wagon.
Hopefully some higher mileage allroad owners can chime in with their experience!

I just paid $17K for a 2015 Premium Plus Allroad with all the options. It has 93K miles on it. I have owned 12 VAG products in the last 15 years and all seem to do just fine with higher mileage.

My 2013 has been very reliable. I'm coming up on 95k, having owned it since 30k, as a CPO car.

Problems:
- I believe mine has been subject to 3 recalls, none critical -- check the recall lists for the year / VIN you're shopping for
- the MMI volume **** had a "skip" in it that was relatively minor but resulted in a jump in audio volume when turning; replaced under warranty but would have cost $800 if dealer replaced new
- front outer CV boots tore around 50k, and it took the dealer 3 tries to get them replaced correctly. Warranty work but these aren't cheap if you're paying out of pocket.
- right inner brake light chaffed or something (open circuit) and I still haven't bothered to fix it but it should be a straightforward home repair.
- bad coil pack at about 75k, cheap to replace home repair.

The car has otherwise just been normal 10k interval oil changes, plugs and coil packs, filters, etc. Burns about a quart (or is it a liter?) of oil every 10k. Mileage sucks at 20.1 charted religiously using Fuelly. That's with 19" Audi OEM wheels; I was tracking around 22 mpg initially and running the stock 18s.

Gotta say I really enjoy this car and although I have a hankering for a B9 and all the newer technology that comes with it, I can't justify the cost, especially when this one is working so well for me.
