I have personal knowledge of one Allroad that was run for just over 200,000
miles by its original owner. It was a diesel automatic and was regularly
serviced at loosely 20,000 mile intervals. The engine was sweet as a nut but
it was sold because he felt that the transmission was developing what was
likely to be an expensive to repair fault.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my question... I think I'll go for a
higher mileage Allroad instead of a lower mileage non-Audi crossover or
small SUV for the same price. Then I'll have two Audis with the sweet 2.7
bi-Turbo!
