The MERCEDES-BENZ A CLASS (2008-13) A170 3DR HATCHBACK 1.7 116 CLASSIC SE CVT AUTO is a compact, three-door premium hatchback, offering a more upmarket alternative to mainstream small cars. Its raised, upright shape helps make the cabin feel airy, while the automatic gearbox suits stop-start town driving. In the UK market, it sits between ordinary city hatchbacks and larger family cars. Mycarcheck.com has recorded just one check for this exact A170, so its figures are a small snapshot rather than a reliable guide to every example. That record suggests a private-sale value of £900, 163,000 miles, around 3,000 miles driven annually and eight previous keepers. The mileage and keeper count make a careful history check especially worthwhile; condition and maintenance can vary considerably between cars. Best suited to singles, couples or commuters wanting an easy-to-park automatic with a premium badge, it offers more distinctive packaging than rivals such as the Ford Fiesta or Vauxhall Corsa. Check its running history and condition before buying.
