I don't recommend any of these for these reasons: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/audi/a3-2008/?sectio.../ The RAC can do an inspection and a history check for you for about £200-£300, but any car bought from a dealer carries an implied guarantee that there are no major faults with it on date of sale for 6 months from the date of sale.
