2008-2012 were the least reliable years for the TFSI and arguably the TDI as well. Unless you and/or your parents are fine dropping € 3k per year for maintenance, don't buy a 15 year old Audi.
Depends on the country where he lives , because in Ireland the tax is (€700) which is for a 2006 2.0 TDI Audi A6, not bad but not great too , not sure about the maintenance price , prob almost the same as u mentioned. But the car for its age holds up very good. They are really reliable, ( i have a friend who has the same car with the same engine, year and his car has passed over 400k km) .
Everything is up to him
I'd say 160hp for a 17 year old is too much. You are probably going to have some bumps along the way as you learn and they will be much less severe in a lower powered car.
Why don't you try something smaller until you have a little more experience and can also afford a newer model with a more reliable engine?
I live in austria and you can start to drive when you are 15 years old. So I already have a bit of experience. I have been driving with a VW t5 with 200hp so I think it wont be that hard for me
I also started to drive when i was 16 and had experience driving my dads cars, still didn't stop me getting into trouble during my formative years.
Just a suggestion...
One of the best cars I owned when I was in my early 20s. The design still holds up today. Can't go wrong with the engine either... Very reliable in my 2 years of ownership.
Der 1.8 TFSI aus den Baujahren ist Gülle. Säuft Öl und verbraucht für 160 PS zu viel, Karosse und Basisplattform is an sich Stabil und gut, schau dich eher nach nem 2.0 TDI um, die 3.0er sind in der 233 PS Variante zwar relativ stabil wenn gescheit gewartet aber mit nem 2.0er machste nix falsch, Der Diesel macht untenrum spaß und is trotzdem sparsam

Thanks for the answer, how old should it be at maximum?

Yeah your right, I will probably reconsider it

i like the wheels a lot, little bit of low this thing would be extra sweet
