It sits at the sporty end of the GLA range, pairing Mercedes-Benz comfort and polish with assertive AMG styling. mycarcheck.com has recorded seven checks across five different VINs, so the sample is still small. Within those records, the average private-sale valuation is £52,500, while the reported average previous keepers is zero.
