Default Advice please: Possible 2015 RS7 purchase

My wife asked that I seriously consider getting a gently used car and she suggested the RS7 and found some 2015 RS7s. I know nothing about RS7s, other then what I read on the Internet and how great they are.

But, tell me what issues, problems and the like I should look out for when I inspect a 2015 RS7? I just want to make sure I do not get a lemon or problem child. Thanks ahead for any response.

The biggest problem is speeding fines.

I expect they are just as reliable as any other 2015. Personally I would look for a CPO car. That way you have a warranty in case you do have problems.

Thanks.

Are there any mechanical issues that I should be on the look out for?

Before my current '16 RS7 Performance I had a '14 RS7. Traded in at 80,000 miles. No problems of any kind.

I'm 27 months into mine and no problems. Currently 21,000 kms and just had brakes and tires ( originals) checked. Both still showing green ( good).

Can't make my mind up about tire size. I've got 21", luckily I don't have to run a winter set up otherwise I think I would have preferred 20's.

I've only had my car since April. Probably the first car I've ever owned without "true" initial problems. Hat's off to Audi. I've had zero problems.

I have a 2014 RS7 with 25,000 miles. I have had zero problems other than replacement of two 20" tires over the last two years. (Extensive road work in the area where I live north of Atlanta.) That replacement was covered in large measure by the road hazard warranty I purchased with the car.
