HOW MANY AUDI A3 TDI SE ARE LEFT?

There are 371 AUDI A3 TDI SE left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 430 AUDI A3 TDI SE that are currently SORNED.

The total number of AUDI A3 TDI SE was highest during 2003 Q4 (4,620). The number taxed topped out in 2003 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2021 Q3.

Since the total peaked, some 3,819 (83%) AUDI A3 TDI SE have been scrapped or exported.

During 2024 Q3 the number of AUDI A3 TDI SE that were off the road (SORN) exceeded the number that were licensed for the first time. This could indicate the owners are reluctant to sell or scrap their car as they view them as a potential future classic.

In the last 10 years the total number of AUDI A3 TDI SE has fallen by 2,903. Licensed models have fallen by 3,163 and the SORNed total has increased by 260.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 1,000 AUDI A3 TDI SE models. Taxed models have declined by 967 and the SORNed total has fallen by 33.

54% of the remaining 801 AUDI A3 TDI SE in the UK are currently off the road.
