The Audi S3 loses about 34% of its value in its first three years. From a list price of £56,000, a 2023 example with around 25,500 miles on the clock is worth about £30,650 today. The year-by-year table below values every age of S3 at its typical mileage, from the same model behind its full profile.
How this curve is built — the level is pinned to a researched used-market price for this model (AutoTrader median, 2023 at 30k miles). The curve shape itself is a segment-level model shared with similar cars, not a per-model measurement, so treat the year-on-year pattern as indicative and the anchored year as the firm point.
