Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The MERCEDES-BENZ A CLASS (1998-04) A140 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 CLASSIC SE AUTO is a small five-door hatchback, offering a premium badge in a city-friendly package. It sits between basic runabouts and larger family cars, with an upright shape that makes it roomier and easier to enter than many small hatchback rivals.
Mycarcheck.com has recorded 64 checks covering 50 different VINs, a useful sample of interest in surviving examples. Those checks show an average private-sale value of £700, average recorded mileage of 73,000 miles and around 4,000 miles driven yearly; cars had about four previous keepers on average. These are historical check averages, not a guide to any individual car’s condition.
Compact dimensions and automatic transmission suit town trips, parking and commuting; five doors help couples or small households. This older Mercedes stands out for its tall design and premium feel, but condition and service history matter more than the badge.
