The MERCEDES-BENZ A CLASS (1998-04) A140L 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 PICCADILLY LWB is a compact five-door hatchback from Mercedes-Benz’s first-generation A-Class. It sits between a city car and a small family car in the UK used-car market; its tall shape makes it feel roomier and easier to enter than many rivals. Mycarcheck.com has recorded just three look-ups for this exact Piccadilly version, covering one distinct VIN, so the figures are a small snapshot rather than a guide to every example. The checks show an average private-sale valuation of £800 and latest recorded mileage of 106,000 miles; the average previous keeper count was eight. This A140L suits urban errands, commuting and modest family duties, for buyers wanting easy access, a compact footprint and a premium badge. Its upright cabin feels more spacious than many small hatchbacks, while the Piccadilly edition adds a distinctive identity. At this age, inspect condition and service history carefully.
