The AUDI A3 (2008-13) 3DR HATCHBACK 2.0 TDI 170 STRON AUTO6 is a premium compact hatchback, offering three-door style and a more upmarket feel than many everyday small cars. In the UK used market it competes with the Volkswagen Golf and BMW 1 Series, appealing to buyers seeking an alternative. Mycarcheck.com has three checks for this exact version, covering three different cars, so its figures are a small snapshot rather than a reliable market-wide guide. Those records show an average private-sale valuation of £900, mileage of 132,000 and annual use of 11,000 miles; the average keeper count is about eight. This A3 is best suited to commuters and couples seeking comfort and good range; the three-door layout is less convenient for rear-seat access or family duties. The 170-horsepower TDI offers brisk overtaking, while the automatic makes traffic easier. Check service history, condition and ownership on any example before you buy.
