RE: tire pressure malfuction.
A tire pressure problem hardly makes it a bad vehicle, i got news for ya. The tire pressure monitoring on ALL manufatures cars suck.
The timing belt should be done around 80k so your due. Due the water pump and thermostat while the T belt is off.

RE: tire pressure malfuction.
The TPMS is one of the hardest systems to diagnose, on the A8 its much easier (thank god) because it has four antennas instead of one, which should pinpoint which wheel sensor is malfunctioning for you.
Go through either self diagnosis or guided fault finding the module (tyre pressure monitoring) should have a fault stored in it, post which fault code it has stored in the module.
It won't be covered under certified warranty because its considered a wear item because of the battery life in them. Its gay i know.

RE: tire pressure malfuction.
There isn't any other way to diagnose the system, one thing you can do is slowly release the pressure at each wheel to see if it trips the warning light, but thats not reliable and if it has a malfunction it might not show a tire losing air.
