The MERCEDES-BENZ A CLASS (2005-08) A150 3DR HATCHBACK 1.5 SPECIAL EDITION is a compact, premium-minded petrol hatchback, sized for town driving but with a taller, more upright cabin than many small cars. Its three-door layout gives it a distinctive look, while the A-Class badge offers a more upmarket alternative to everyday city cars such as the Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa and Volkswagen Polo. Mycarcheck.com records show 17 look-ups covering 13 different VINs, a modest sample rather than a full picture of the market. Across those checks, the average private-sale valuation was £900, recorded mileage averaged 87,000 miles, and annual mileage was about 6,000 miles. Cars had an average of roughly 3.6 previous keepers, so check each car’s history and condition carefully. Compact dimensions and raised seating suit commuters, first-time buyers or couples needing occasional rear seats. The A150 is a distinctive small Mercedes, not a particularly spacious car for families.
