The AUDI A3 HATCHBACK (2012-16) 3DR HATCHBACK 2.0 TDI DPF SS 150 EU6 S LINE 6SPD is a compact hatchback with a polished feel and easy-to-park size. Its three-door shape looks sportier, although rear-seat access is less convenient than in a five-door A3, a trade-off for drivers who value style. It suits commuters and couples seeking a refined, economical diesel for regular journeys, with S line styling adding a sharper appearance. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 198 checks across 47 distinct VINs, a useful sample; observed cars averaged 63,000 miles and 6,000 miles annually, with about two previous keepers recorded on average. The 150-horsepower engine and six-speed manual give it brisk, confident road manners, while its EU6 rating and diesel economy appeal to high-mileage drivers. Mycarcheck data shows an average private-sale valuation of £11,000. Against the BMW 1 Series and Mercedes A-Class, the A3 is known for a smart, understated cabin.
