The MERCEDES-BENZ A CLASS (1998-04) A170 5DR HATCHBACK 1.7 CDI CLASSIC REV 01 is a compact five-door diesel hatchback, offering Mercedes-Benz branding in a practical, city-friendly shape. In the UK used-car market, it sits between small runabouts and larger family cars, with a taller cabin and useful passenger space for its modest footprint. Mycarcheck.com records are based on just six look-ups and six different VINs, so treat the figures as a small snapshot, not a definitive market guide. Those checks show an average private-sale value of £600, average recorded mileage of 108,000 miles and annual mileage of 7,000. Cars had an average of nearly five previous keepers. The A170 CDI suits commuters and budget-minded buyers needing a roomy, easy-to-park car; its diesel may suit daily driving. Upright, space-efficient design sets it apart from small hatchbacks such as the Ford Fiesta. Check condition and service history, given age and keeper history.
