This… is the 2013 Audi A3 2.0 TDI S line—the hatchback that decided it was far too good to be just a hatchback. It’s sharp-looking, solidly built, and drives with that smug sense of precision Audi does so well. Under the bonnet is a 2.0-litre TDI diesel producing 148 bhp, giving you 0–60 in just 8.6 seconds and a top speed of 134 mph. But here’s the clever bit—it’ll still return up to 68 mpg if you behave yourself. Insurance? Group 26, so not silly money for the performance you’re getting. ULEZ? Sadly, no—it’s Euro 5 diesel, so London will want its cut. At 86,914 miles, it had the life-saving timing belt kit and water pump changed. Because, let’s be honest, if you don’t do that, the engine doesn’t just stop… it explodes in a way that would make even a Top Gear stunt look tame. At 80,470 miles, someone spent £784.74 on a new clutch master cylinder and clutch. Which sounds expensive, but trust me — when a clutch goes, it doesn’t just “slip.” It smells, it screeches, and it makes you look like you’ve never driven a manual in your life. Money well spent. At 75,327 miles, it had a major service. Oil, filters, the works. The sort of thing cars need every so often to stop them becoming mobile bonfires. And while the paperwork trail goes a bit… quiet after that, let’s be serious: no car makes it this far without someone tinkering under the bonnet. So yes — it’s been looked after. Probably more than Hammond’s crash helmets. When new, this exact car would have cost in the region of £25,000, but because it’s the S line, you got the sharper body kit, stiffer suspension, sport seats, part-leather trim, 18-inch alloys, and an interior so well screwed together you could probably drop it off a cliff and it would still feel tight. The A3 S line is the sweet spot—it looks great, it’s quick, it’s economical, and it’s built like it was carved from granite. This is the car you buy when you want something practical… but you also want to enjoy looking back at it every time you park.
