MERCEDES-BENZ A CLASS (2005-08) A160 3DR HATCHBACK 2.0 CDI ELEGANCE SE
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The MERCEDES-BENZ A CLASS (2005-08) A160 3DR HATCHBACK 2.0 CDI ELEGANCE SE is a compact, three-door diesel hatchback with a premium badge and a tall, distinctive shape. In the UK market it offers an alternative to mainstream hatchbacks, combining city-friendly dimensions with a more upmarket feel than many budget rivals.
It's suited to commuters, couples and drivers wanting an easy-to-park car for everyday trips, with its diesel engine appealing to people covering longer journeys. Mycarcheck recorded just two checks, covering two VINs, so figures are a small snapshot: average recorded mileage was 143,000, annual mileage 8,000, and previous keepers 3.5.
Check condition and service history carefully: the checks showed an average private-sale value of £600, but the sample is limited. Its space-conscious design and premium feel distinguish it from mainstream rivals such as the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf, while three doors make rear-seat access less convenient for some buyers.
Buying a used Mercedes A-Class? Outstanding finance, write-offs, hidden damage, theft or clocked mileage could turn a bargain into a costly mistake. Enter the reg now and check before you commit.
