Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- You regularly make longer journeys: diesel may fit that pattern better than a routine of mostly short trips. Compare actual running costs.
- You want practical access for everyday shopping and bags: the hatchback opening may suit your routine. Check actual boot space.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- Most journeys are short school runs or local trips: check whether this diesel has a particulate filter and what longer runs its handbook requires.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 10 years old and 88,000 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
The 2016 A3 diesel (TDI) is commonly the 1.6 or 2.0 TDI and comes in 5-door Sportback form quite often — manuals are straightforward and avoid DSG issues. Diesels of this era will have DPF and EGR systems (and some 2.0 TDI variants may use AdBlue), so they suit regular longer runs rather than lots of short urban trips. A manual means watch the clutch lifespan and any history of heavy town use; parts are easy to find through the VW/Audi network in Ireland.
- DPF condition — ask if owner did regular long runs or forced-regens; look for recent DPF cleaning history
- EGR carbon build-up and turbo oil leaks (black smoke, rattles, or excessive smoke on start/accel)
- Clutch wear and engagement point plus any gearbox crunching or noisy synchromesh
- Underbody and rear-arch corrosion or sill damage (Irish roads salt exposure) and suspension bushes
- Injector/turbo fault codes and any evidence of expensive diesel-repair work (smoke, warning lights, oil consumption)
