The MERCEDES-BENZ CLC (2008-12) 180K 3DR COUPE 1.8 143 SE is a compact premium three-door coupe with a useful hatchback-style tailgate. In the UK used-car market, it bridges mainstream family hatchbacks and larger luxury cars, offering Mercedes appeal in a manageable, distinctive package. It brings style without a large-car footprint. Mycarcheck.com records 144 look-ups across 57 different VINs, a useful snapshot of buyer interest, though not a full census. The data gives an average private-sale valuation of £2,400 and mileage of 86,000; annual use averages 4,000 miles, and previous keepers average four. These figures describe checked cars, not every example. The 180K is best suited to singles, couples or commuters wanting a stylish car with rear seats for occasional passengers and practicality over a conventional coupe. It competes with compact premium choices such as the Audi A3 and BMW 1 Series, standing out for Mercedes comfort and a distinctive profile.
