Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The AUDI A3 (2008-13) 5DR SPORTBACK 1.9 TDI 105 SPECIAL EDITION is a five-door, family-sized hatchback, combining Audi’s upmarket feel with everyday practicality. In the UK it sits above many mainstream hatchbacks for cabin finish and badge appeal, while its Sportback shape makes it more useful than a small three-door A3.
mycarcheck.com has recorded 2,605 look-ups covering 1,248 different VINs, a substantial sample of buyer interest. Checks show an average recorded mileage of 144,000 miles and about 4.6 previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation is £1,300.

Its 1.9 TDI diesel suits commuting and longer trips, with economy a key attraction. Five doors and a useful boot make it practical for couples or small families. Compared with a Golf or Focus, the A3 offers a more upmarket feel; check service history and condition carefully, especially at this average mileage.
