MERCEDES-BENZ A CLASS (2005-08) A160 3DR HATCHBACK 2.0 CDI AVANTGARDE SE

Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks

The MERCEDES-BENZ A CLASS (2005-08) A160 3DR HATCHBACK 2.0 CDI AVANTGARDE SE is a compact, three-door diesel hatchback, bringing Mercedes-Benz branding and a more upmarket feel to everyday small-car motoring. Its raised, roomy cabin makes it easier to get in and out than many low-slung rivals, while its compact footprint suits town streets and parking. The 2.0 CDI diesel is aimed at drivers who value commuting and fewer stops, and the A-Class can work for couples or small households wanting a second-hand Mercedes. Avantgarde SE trim gives this version a better-equipped flavour, while the three-door layout is less convenient for rear-seat access than a five-door hatchback. In mycarcheck.com data, 10 checks covered six distinct VINs; the average recorded mileage was 107,000, annual mileage 7,000 and previous keepers five. The average private-sale valuation was £1,100. Against small-car rivals, it stands out for its premium badge and comfort, though age and history matter.
