AUDI A3 (2008-13) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.9 TDI 105 SE
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The AUDI A3 (2008-13) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.9 TDI 105 SE is a premium-feeling, three-door family hatchback, sitting above small cars but remaining more compact and affordable than a larger family car. It suits town streets and longer journeys, with smart styling and a more upmarket cabin than many mainstream rivals.
Mycarcheck.com has recorded 684 checks across 291 VINs, giving a snapshot of cars being considered. The average example has 146,000 miles, about 6,000 miles added yearly, and just over five previous keepers; these figures describe checked cars, not every A3. Average private-sale valuation is £1,000, so condition, history and maintenance matter especially at this age.
The 1.9 TDI diesel is known for frugal running and relaxed motorway journeys, suiting commuters, couples or small households who value refinement over rear-seat access. Its three-door layout is less convenient than five-door rivals like the Volkswagen Golf, but its premium badge remains appealing today.
Considering an Audi A3? Outstanding finance, write-offs, hidden damage, mileage discrepancies or theft could turn a bargain into a costly mistake. Enter the reg now and check before you buy.
