Description
A beautiful and highly original Audi RS3 Sportback 2.5 TFSI Quattro, presented in superb condition with excellent provenance, low ownership and a very reassuring maintenance record. This is the sought-after 5-cylinder RS3, fitted with the CZGB 2.5 TFSI engine, QFQ/DQ500 7-speed automatic gearbox and quattro all-wheel drive system. Factory specification includes Audi Drive Select, magnetic ride suspension, dynamic steering, MMI Navigation Plus with MMI Touch, rear-view camera, front and rear parking sensors, LED headlights, LED rear lights, heated leather S sports seats, leather multifunction sports steering wheel with paddles, colour driver display, DAB radio, Bluetooth, AUX/USB/iPod interface, cruise control, speed limiter, climate control, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, rain/light sensor, privacy glass, matte aluminium styling, roof rails, RS styling and 19-inch Audi Sport/quattro GmbH alloy wheels.
The service history is a major highlight. Delivery inspection was completed by Newport Audi on 28/04/2016 at 0 miles. Quattro-Tech Peterborough then carried out a flexible inspection with oil change on 05/06/2017 at 15,938 miles. Spark plugs were replaced by Quattro-Tech on 17/01/2018 at 23,158 miles. On 23/04/2018 at 25,684 miles, Quattro-Tech carried out another inspection with oil change, including dust/pollen filter and gearbox oil. On 11/02/2019 at 34,610 miles, Quattro-Tech completed an inspection with oil change, brake fluid service and all-wheel drive coupling/Haldex oil change. Cardiff Audi later recorded gearbox oil on 05/05/2022, followed by another all-wheel drive coupling/Haldex oil change on 10/05/2022 at 67,098 miles. Hereford Audi then recorded a further all-wheel drive coupling/Haldex oil change on 09/05/2025 at 95,788 miles. Most recently, VW Audi Specialists, Hitchin serviced the car on 29/06/2026 at 103,485 miles, including rear brake discs and rear brake pads.
This means the car has documented gearbox oil history, spark plugs, brake fluid and, most importantly, multiple Haldex/all-wheel drive coupling oil changes at 34,610, 67,098 and 95,788 miles — exactly the sort of maintenance you want to see on an RS3. With only 3 previous owners, which is extremely rare for an RS3 of this age, 2 keys, matching new tyres all round, unmarked alloy wheels and a clean, unmodified, unmodified presentation, this is a genuinely special example. A properly kept, original RS3 with the right engine, the right drivetrain, strong factory specification and the provenance to match.
