The AUDI A3 (1996-03) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.9 TDI 110 SPORT is a compact three-door hatchback in the UK’s premium small-car class. It offers a more upmarket feel than many mainstream rivals, with useful everyday practicality. Its modest footprint makes it easier to park and manage than a larger family car. mycarcheck.com records 14 look-ups covering six distinct VINs, so the figures are useful context rather than a large market survey. The checked cars averaged 150,000 miles, around 8,000 miles a year, and just over three previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £400, reflecting age and condition as important factors. The 1.9 TDI diesel is suited to economical long-distance motoring, making this A3 attractive to commuters and budget-conscious drivers. Sport trim adds a livelier character, while its solid, refined feel helped it stand out against the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus. As a three-door, it suits singles or couples best.
