MERCEDES-BENZ B CLASS (2005-08) B170 5DR HATCHBACK 1.7
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The MERCEDES-BENZ B CLASS (2005-08) B170 5DR HATCHBACK 1.7 is a practical, five-door family hatchback with a taller, roomier feel than a conventional small car. It sits between superminis and larger family cars in the UK market, offering Mercedes-Benz badge appeal in a compact footprint.
Mycarcheck.com has recorded 25 look-ups covering eight distinct VINs, so these figures offer a useful snapshot rather than a large survey. Checked examples averaged £1,700 in private-sale value and 123,000 miles, with annual mileage around 4,000 and roughly 3.7 previous keepers. These are historical averages, not a guide to any individual car’s current condition or worth.
The B170 suits families and commuters needing cabin space without an SUV. Its upright shape feels airy, with easy access, while its petrol engine suits everyday trips. Compared with Golf or Focus rivals, it offers a premium image and higher seating; check service history and condition when buying.
A used Mercedes B-Class can hide outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, theft or mileage discrepancies—and age-related faults may not be obvious. Enter the reg now to check before you buy; skipping it could cost you.
