Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The MERCEDES-BENZ A CLASS (1998-04) A140L 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 CLASSIC ACS LWB is a compact, five-door petrol hatchback with a premium badge and a distinctive tall, upright shape. It sits between a city car and a small family car in the UK market: easy to place in town, yet roomier and more versatile than many tiny runabouts. The LWB designation identifies the longer-wheelbase version, adding useful cabin space.
Mycarcheck.com records are based on eight checks covering five distinct VINs, so treat them as a small snapshot rather than a market-wide picture. They show an average private-sale valuation of £500, average recorded mileage of 87,000, and annual mileage of 4,000.
It suits commuters, first-time buyers or couples wanting an affordable runabout, with the upright layout helping entry and visibility. Compared with small rivals, its Mercedes identity and roomy feel stand out; age and multiple keepers make condition and history checks important.
