Description
Immaculate 2005 Audi A3 1.6 SE Automatic - Obsidian Black - Only 42k Miles, 2 Keys, FSH & 12 Months MOT
If you've been hunting for a tidy, low-mileage Audi A3 that still feels special every time you climb in, this is the one. Finished in sought-after Obsidian Black metallic with matching black leather, my three-door hatch looks, drives and smells like a much newer car.
At a Glance
42,000 genuine miles - two mature owners from new
Full Service History (including Brand New service this month)
12 Months MOT - no advisories
Automatic gearbox - smooth changes, ideal for city or motorway
2 brand-new tyres (fitted June 2025)
2 original, working Audi keys
Insurance Group 14E - surprisingly wallet-friendly
47 mpg combined from the reliable 1.6 petrol engine
HPI-clear & never written off
Bose Sound System (The Best Sound System)
Why This A3 Stands Out
Condition, condition, condition - The paint still has its deep Obsidian gloss; panels are arrow-straight with no car-park dings. Interior plastics, leather and headlining are equally pristine.
Cosseted life - Mostly driven on weekends; the low mileage isn't a typo.
Genuine practicality - The three-door body gives a sportier profile, yet the boot is cavernous and the rear seats split-fold for IKEA runs.
Running Costs
Fuel: An easy 47 mpg on a run; low-30s around town
Insurance: Group 14E - cheaper than most Golfs & MINIs of the same age
Recent Work
Major service at 42,000 miles (genuine Audi oil, filters, plugs)
Gearbox fluid & filter replaced too (preventative)
The Boring Bit
I have all manuals, both keys, some service invoices and MOT certificates. The car is HPI-clear and ready for inspection. Viewings Welcome!
You'll struggle to find a cleaner, lower-mileage A3 of this vintage - first to see will buy.
