The MERCEDES-BENZ CLC (2008-12) 220 3DR COUPE 2.1 CDI 150 SPORT PANORAMA AUTO is a compact premium coupe with a useful rear hatch, sitting between family hatchbacks and larger executive saloons in the UK used-car market. Its three-door shape gives it a sportier look than an ordinary small family car, while retaining everyday practicality. Mycarcheck.com records 109 look-ups covering 90 different VINs, a useful sample of cars checked by shoppers. The average private-sale valuation is £3,200, with average recorded mileage of 107,000 miles and annual use of 6,000 miles. Vehicles checked had averaged 4.6 previous keepers, so review each car’s history and condition carefully. Automatic diesel power suits commuters and couples wanting a comfortable daily driver, particularly on longer journeys; the panoramic roof adds an airy feel. More stylish than mainstream hatchbacks, it rivals the BMW 1 Series Coupé and Audi A3. Before buying, check service records, gearbox operation and roof function.
