The MERCEDES-BENZ A CLASS (2005-08) A150 3DR HATCHBACK 1.5 SPECIAL EDITION AUTO is a compact, three-door premium hatchback, offering Mercedes-Benz comfort in a small footprint. It suits town streets and tight parking better than larger family cars, while its raised seating position gives a useful view of the road. The automatic gearbox makes stop-start commuting easier. mycarcheck.com records are based on a small sample: 10 look-ups covering three different VINs, so figures are an indication rather than a market-wide average. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £900, around 109,000 miles recorded, and 2.7 previous keepers. The recorded annual mileage averages 14,000, worth checking against service and MOT history. The A150 suits singles, couples and commuters seeking an automatic with a more upmarket feel than many small hatchbacks. Its tall shape stands out against a Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo; check condition and maintenance carefully on any older example.
