Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The MERCEDES-BENZ A CLASS (1998-04) A140L 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 A+ AUTO LWB is a compact five-door hatchback, offering a small-car footprint with a taller, roomy cabin. In the UK, it sits between a city car and family hatchback: easier to park than larger cars, yet more versatile than many runabouts.
Mycarcheck.com records are based on six look-ups covering six VINs, so treat these figures as a snapshot, not a market-wide verdict. They show an average private-sale value of £600, average recorded mileage of 83,000 miles and annual use of 5,000 miles. The cars had an average of 4.5 previous keepers.
Automatic driving and a tall, practical cabin make this A-Class suited to commuters, downsizers and anyone wanting a second car. The long-wheelbase model offers room, while its unusual shape and premium badge distinguish it from small hatchbacks such as the Ford Fiesta. Check the car’s history and condition before buying.
Buying an older Mercedes A-Class? Outstanding finance, theft, write-offs, hidden damage or mileage discrepancies could turn a bargain into a costly mistake. Enter the reg now and check before you commit.
