Short Description:
This car comes with a professionally installed high-quality 70mai front and rear dash cam system, complete with a genuine special mini SD card to ensure your recordings are well-protected and of excellent quality.
The engine oil and filter were changed just a few weeks ago at a local garage, with a receipt provided for your peace of mind. The automatic start-stop system works perfectly, helping you save fuel when driving through heavy traffic or at multiple traffic lights in towns and cities.
The sound system is powerful and clear, enhanced by a genuine manufacturer-fitted subwoofer in the rear boot, which makes a noticeable difference in sound quality. All alloy wheels are equipped with special anti-theft locking nuts, which will be included for the new owner.
The car accelerates strongly, brakes effectively and holds the road very well thanks to its wide sport tyres, quality alloys and suspension.
Both the front headlights and rear lights have been fitted with professionally applied tinted film, giving the car an outstanding look. The film fully complies with UK law, has been officially tested and will pass MOT inspections without any problems - even if checked by the police.
A standout feature of this car is the ability to open or close all the windows remotely using the key fob from a long distance - perfect for quickly closing the windows if it starts raining, without having to enter the car. This is a rare and highly convenient feature not found on many newer models.
Service & Maintenance History:
This vehicle has been maintained to a high standard by professional mechanics. I have looked after it with care throughout my 7.5 years of ownership.
• Engine oil & filter changes every 8,000–10,000 miles
• Timing belt & water pump changed approx. 2 years ago (with invoice)
• New alternator fitted 3 years ago
• Front brake discs replaced 2 years ago
• Rear brake discs replaced 1 year ago
• Rear brake pads – 2 years ago
• Front brake pads – 3 years ago
• Fuel filter, air filter, cabin filter – all changed within last 1 year
• Wax body treatment carried out twice yearly (spring and autumn)
• Mechanic who looked after the car is local and details can be shared with buyer
• No warning lights, drives smoothly, very economical and reliable
Condition:
• Exterior: Some normal and light scratches and minor dents expected for age/mileage, no major damage. Recently treated rear underside with black wax rust protection following previous MOT advisory.
• Interior: Clean and well maintained. Half-leather sports seats, S Line branding. No rips or tears.
• Mechanical: Drives well. Engine strong and responsive. However, please note:
◦ Clutch will likely need replacing in the near future, end-of-life (currently functioning fine)
◦ Occasional engine vibration at idle in neutral after aggressive driving – mechanic diagnosed as potential injector wear (common with high mileage). No shaking during normal driving.
• Windscreen: Two small chips – passed last MOT and do not obstruct view.
Diesels often exceed 200k miles with proper upkeep, well-serviced cars can easily exceed 300k+
MOT Advisories (September 2025):
• Chip in windscreen – treated with specialist resin
• Corrosion to suspension components (rear)
• Next MOT due: 12 September 2026
Reason for Sale:
This has been a wonderful car and never let us down. We bought it at approx. 123,000 miles and used it mainly on the motorway for holidays and trips. Sadly, I’m getting older and low-seating cars have become impractical. My wife and I have recently purchased a SUV so the A3 is now used only occasionally.
Important Notes:
• No swaps, no silly offers, no time-wasters.
• Viewings are strictly by appointment – I am not always available during the day.
• Payment via bank transfer or cash at a local bank branch counter.
• I will not reserve the car.
• If not sold, I will simply keep using it.
Why This Car Might Be for You:
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly, powerful and sporty diesel hatchback with full service history, economical running costs and an honest seller, this car may be ideal. It's a solid example of the “old but gold” Audi A3 S Line.
Feel free to message with reasonable questions. I’m happy to provide more photos or answer any concerns.
