Default Ignition coil 3 failure

Just recently bought a bugeye wrx turbo and the next day the engine management light came on. The aa guy told me that the ignition coil 3 has failed. Just wanted to know is it better to change all four or just get the one? Been quoted over £400 just for the parts :/ any help welcome

Thanks for the reply shaun,
To be honest the car runs perfect, just jitters when u put your foot down. All i got told by the aa was the 3rd coil has failed. Gutted about it!! Have a feeling the guy who i bought it off knew about the problem! Also would a coil failure show up on a mot test?

After reading up on the NPS issue it has got me thinking if it really is the ignition coil! The drive is smooth and no noise from the engine at all! Dont really want to pay 400+ fr part and fitting :/
