Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The MERCEDES-BENZ A CLASS (1998-04) A170L 5DR HATCHBACK 1.7 CDI ELEGANCE ACS LWB is a compact, five-door diesel hatchback with a taller, roomier feel than many small cars. Its extended-wheelbase layout prioritises cabin space, placing it between a city car and a family hatchback in the UK used-car market.
Mycarcheck.com records are limited: just two look-ups covering one distinct VIN, so these figures are a small snapshot, not a market-wide guide. They show an average private-sale valuation of £400, average recorded mileage of 173,000, annual mileage of 9,000 and five previous keepers on average.
The A170L suits commuters or small families seeking an affordable, easy-to-park car with cabin space. Its diesel engine suits regular journeys. Compared with conventional superminis, its upright shape and flexible interior stand out, though rivals may feel more car-like to drive. Check condition and service history carefully at this age and mileage; treat £400 as indicative.
