MERCEDES-BENZ A CLASS (1998-04) A170 5DR HATCHBACK 1.7 CDI CLASSIC
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The MERCEDES-BENZ A CLASS (1998-04) A170 5DR HATCHBACK 1.7 CDI CLASSIC is a compact five-door diesel hatchback, designed to offer Mercedes-Benz refinement in a small, city-friendly package. In the UK used-car market, it sits between ordinary small hatchbacks and premium compact cars, with a taller cabin and practical, upright shape.
Mycarcheck.com checks form a modest sample: six look-ups covering five cars, so treat figures as a guide, not a market-wide picture. They show an average private-sale valuation of £400, recorded mileage of 97,000 miles, annual mileage of 5,000 miles and 3.3 previous keepers. Check each car’s history and condition carefully.
The A170 CDI suits commuters seeking an economical runabout. Its compact size helps in town, while the diesel engine suits longer journeys. Upright design and Mercedes branding set it apart from the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf. For this older hatchback, condition and service history matter more than the badge.
