The Sportback body gives rear passengers and access more convenience than the three-door A1. mycarcheck.com has recorded 1,373 checks across 558 distinct VINs, a useful sample of interest in this model. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £6,500, average recorded mileage of 70,000 miles and annual mileage of 7,000 miles. The cars averaged around 2.6 previous keepers, offering helpful context when comparing individual examples; condition and service history still matter.

It brings a more polished feel than many rivals, though rear space is limited.
