Could suit you if…
- Many journeys are local or relatively short: petrol can fit that use without choosing diesel just for occasional long trips.
- You want practical access for everyday shopping and bags: the hatchback opening may suit your routine. Check actual boot space.
- You would prefer less gear changing in traffic: the recorded automatic transmission may suit. Try how this exact gearbox behaves on a test drive.
Think twice if…
- You need room for several children or extra passengers: the seat count is not recorded. Confirm this exact version's seats and child-seat fit; do not assume from the model name.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 10 years old and 57,007 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
- You need servicing to fit a tight budget: Spanner estimates higher maintenance costs for this type. Get quotes for the exact engine and gearbox before committing.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
The 2016 S3 uses Audi's 2.0 TFSI turbo petrol with the 7-speed S tronic (DSG) automatic — quick and responsive but with higher servicing costs than a standard A3. These cars are commonly tuned, so expect some examples to have ECU remaps or uprated exhausts/intercoolers; that raises performance but can shorten transmission and turbo life if not done properly.
- S tronic (DSG) service records and a test for smooth, rapid shifts — watch for hesitation, harsh clunks or limp mode on downshifts.
- Evidence of ECU remap or aftermarket hardware (intercooler, intake, exhaust) and check for corresponding engine/gearbox fault codes.
- Turbo and associated hoses for oil leaks, boost leaks or excessive shaft play; watch for smoke on cold start and unusual turbo noises.
- Intake valve carbon build-up (common on direct-injection petrols) — look for poor idle or roughness and ask if walnut-blast cleaning was done.
- Suspension top mounts, anti-roll bar links and tyre/brake wear from sporty use — check for uneven tyre wear and worn bushes or noisy mounts.
