The AUDI A3 (2008-13) 3DR HATCHBACK 2.0 TDI 140 S LINE DSG AUTO6 is a premium-feeling three-door hatchback, sitting above everyday small cars in the UK market. Its S line styling gives it a sporty look, while the diesel engine and automatic gearbox suit regular journeys and commuting. Mycarcheck.com records show 1,222 checks covering 546 distinct VINs, a substantial sample of interest in this model. The average recorded mileage is 142,000, with about 7,000 miles added yearly; the average private-sale valuation is £1,500. Cars checked averaged nearly seven previous keepers, so review each car’s history and condition carefully. It suits commuters and couples wanting a refined hatchback with diesel economy, though three doors make rear access less convenient for families. The DSG automatic helps make traffic easier, and S line trim adds appeal. Against the BMW 1 Series and Mercedes A-Class, it offers a premium badge and practical everyday driving.
