The AUDI A3 (1996-03) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.9 TDI 110 SE is a compact, three-door premium hatchback, offering a more upmarket feel than ordinary small cars. In the UK it competes with family favourites such as the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus, adding Audi style to a practical size. Its diesel engine suits commuting and longer journeys. Mycarcheck.com records show 23 look-ups across 15 distinct VINs, a modest sample. Checked cars averaged 181,000 miles, about 6,000 miles annually and nearly six previous keepers. The average recorded private-sale valuation was £300; treat this as a snapshot of checked cars, not a guaranteed market price, since age and condition can make a major difference. The A3 1.9 TDI 110 SE suits commuters and value-focused drivers wanting economical motoring with a premium badge. Its diesel and composed drive distinguish it from basic rivals, though three doors limit rear-seat access. Check service history and condition carefully.
