The MERCEDES-BENZ C CLASS SPORT COUPE (2001-08) C230K 3DR COUPE 1.8 SPORT AUTO is a compact premium three-door coupe with a handy hatchback-style tailgate. It offers Mercedes-Benz comfort and badge appeal in a smaller, more practical package than a traditional sports car, sitting between family hatchbacks and executive saloons in the UK used-car market. Mycarcheck.com has recorded just two look-ups, covering one distinct VIN, so its figures are a small snapshot rather than a reliable picture of every car. In that sample, the average private-sale value was £1,600, recorded mileage 126,000, annual mileage 6,000 and previous keepers three. Check each car’s history and condition carefully. The supercharged petrol engine and automatic gearbox deliver brisk, easy progress, and compact dimensions suit commuting. This premium-feeling car is less family-friendly than a five-door hatchback and may cost more to run. Against an Audi A3 or BMW Compact, the C230K stands out for its Mercedes badge and coupe-hatch shape.
