The MERCEDES-BENZ C CLASS SPORT COUPE (2001-08) C200K 3DR COUPE 1.8 is a compact, three-door premium coupe-hatch, giving the C-Class feel in a shorter, sportier shape. In the UK used-car market it sits between mainstream hatchbacks and larger executive cars, offering a Mercedes badge without the size of a saloon. Mycarcheck.com has recorded seven checks covering three VINs, so its figures are a small snapshot rather than a market average. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £1,200 and 79,000 miles recorded, with around 2,000 miles a year. The average keeper count is about 5.6, making history checks worthwhile. With its supercharged 1.8-litre petrol engine, the C200K aims to feel livelier than a family hatch, while its cabin and boot suit couples, solo commuters and passengers. It offers premium styling and an engaging drive compared with many rivals, but age, running costs and multiple keepers make condition key when buying.
