AUDI A3 (2008-13) S3 3DR HATCHBACK QUATTRO 2.0 TFSI 265
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The AUDI A3 (2008-13) S3 3DR HATCHBACK QUATTRO 2.0 TFSI 265 is a performance-focused, three-door premium hatchback: compact enough for town use, yet more powerful and purposeful than an everyday A3. mycarcheck.com records 3,258 look-ups covering 870 distinct VINs, giving buyers a useful snapshot of this sought-after used model today.
With quattro all-wheel drive and a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine, the S3 brings quick, confident performance in a manageable size. It suits enthusiasts wanting a thrilling daily commuter or weekend car, and couples or small households who value pace over rear-seat and boot space. Its three-door layout is less family-friendly.
Against hot hatch rivals, including the Volkswagen Golf GTI, it stands out for all-weather traction, understated Audi styling and premium feel, while remaining practical for everyday driving. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £6,500 and 102,000 miles; about 5,000 miles are driven annually, with six previous keepers on average.
An Audi S3 can hide outstanding finance, write-off damage, mileage discrepancies or a theft marker. Enter the reg now and check before you buy—skipping it could cost you.
