2007 AUDI (B7) RS4 AVANT

This Audi (B7) RS4 Avant is an acclaimed performance-focused estate, with a superb factory specification and which remains in original and unmodified condition. Under the bonnet sits the 414bhp 4.2-litre naturally aspirated V8, coupled to a six-speed manual gearbox. The odometer currently indicates 92,880 miles from new.

First registered in June 2007, this RS4 has been in the hands of its current keeper for 13 years, with one previous registered keeper on the logbook. It is presented with a number of desirable factory options, including ceramic brakes, variable sport suspension, and Recaro ‘wingback’ seats.

The bodywork of this RS4 is all in good shape, with the vendor noting that the rear bumper was resprayed in 2018 to rectify some minor scuffs. The Daytona Grey paintwork now features some age-related stone chips on the bumper and bonnet, though it benefits from both a Supaguard treatment and a ceramic coating. The vendor has also reported a small windscreen chip, two small dings in the boot lid, minor scuffs to the offside wheel arch and bottom of the driver’s door, while some very faint scratches are visible on the wing mirror caps. Overall though, this remains a well-presented example. The refurbished 19-inch alloys are in excellent condition, with one small scuff on the nearside rear wheel.

Inside, the sought-after black leather Recaro ‘wingback’ seats are in fair order, with age-related creasing, discolouration on the outer bolsters, and one small hole. The leather-clad door cards are in good shape, though the vendor has reported some superficial wear to the driver’s door handle. The carbon-fibre inlays are free of any notable scuffs, and the steering wheel and gear knob are still in good condition. The cabin is equipped with satellite navigation, a six-CD changer and an electric sunroof, and no electrical faults have been detected.

The car has superb maintenance history, with full main dealer (Caffyns Audi) servicing up to 89,616 miles, and specialist visits since then. The last maintenance was undertaken in January 2021 at 92,663 miles, where technicians at Audi specialist QSTuning changed the engine oil, filter, spark plugs and coolant, before de-coking the engine, cleaning the inlet manifold and fitting a new gasket. The oil cooler pipe seal, right auxiliary radiator and offside front lower suspension arm were also replaced, all at a total cost of £2,131. Prior to this, routine maintenance was undertaken in September 2020 at 92,301 miles at Pfeiffers Garage in Hove, and in April 2017 at 89,616 miles at Caffyns Audi. A comprehensive summary of maintenance history is included below.

The most recent MOT test was on 9 September 2020 at 92,301 miles, which resulted in a pass with one advisory to monitor some slight damage to the offside front lower swivel gaiter. The Pirelli P Zero tyres are in excellent condition, with 5mm of tread at the front and 7mm at the rear.

Accompanying the vehicle are the original owner’s manuals, service book and bill of sale, alongside the Supaguard certificate and raft of maintenance documents. The full factory toolkit will also be supplied.
