AUDI A3 HATCHBACK (2016-18) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.6 TDI DPF SS 116 EU6 SE TECHNIK 6SPD

Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The AUDI A3 HATCHBACK (2016-18) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.6 TDI DPF SS 116 EU6 SE TECHNIK 6SPD is a premium compact hatchback, above mainstream runabouts but smaller and easier to park than an SUV. Its three-door shape adds sporty appeal, making it a distinctive choice in the UK used-car market today.
Mycarcheck.com has logged 118 look-ups for this version, spanning 40 distinct VINs, giving buyers a useful snapshot rather than a single-car impression. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £12,800, average recorded mileage of 53,000 miles and about 1.05 previous keepers; average annual mileage is 13,000 miles across these checks.
That efficient diesel suits commuters and longer journeys, while SE Technik adds useful equipment; the six-speed manual feels familiar. It suits couples or small households, though rear-seat access is less convenient than five-door rivals. Against the Volkswagen Golf and BMW 1 Series, it combines premium feel, practicality and thrift well.
