Q7 issues to know about before buying?

Are there any known issues with the 2010-2012 Audi Q7 V8 twin-turbo I should be wary of when buying one secondhand?

There's nothing serious to be concerned about with the V8 model, but be aware that it will be expensive to service and repair should you need to do it. Before you hand over your cash talk to a specialist Audi mechanic and seek their advice on the things to look at. Using an independent mechanic will save you heaps on servicing, and they will generally be able to source cheaper parts if needed.
