  • Used Mercedes A-Class - front

    Third generation Mercedes A-Class launched in 2012 with a more conventional design than it's tall-bodied predecessors

  • Used Mercedes A-Class - rear

    Buyers initially had a choice of 3 petrols; A 180 (122bhp 1.6-litre), A 200 (156bhp 1.6) or A 250 (211bhp 2.0-litre) and 2 diesels; A 180 CDI (109bhp 1.5 or 1.8) or A 200 CDI (136bhp 1.8-litre)

  • Used Mercedes A-Class - full front

    The petrol engines are smooth but the muscular diesels are a little lacking in refinement

  • Used Mercedes A-Class - full rear

    All versions have a choice of a manual or dual-clutch automatic gearbox 

  • Used Mercedes A-Class - side

    Model pictured is a mid-range SE with 16" alloys. The entry level version sits on steel wheels, higher up the range the Sport offers 17" alloys and AMG Sport 18" alloys

  • Used Mercedes A-Class - dash

    Interior is stylish and classy but build quality isn't quite as high as you might expect. Some buyers have reported dashboard rattles, creaks and squeaks

  • Used Mercedes A-Class - front seats

    All models include air-con and electric windows front and rear

  • Used Mercedes A-Class - centre console

    Central screen doesn't retract to dash and looks a bit of an afterthought 

  • Used Mercedes A-Class - screen

    Navigation can easily be added if not fitted, through means of an SD card available from dealers 

  • Used Mercedes A-Class - seatbelt

    Some early cars suffer from rattling seatbelt height adjusters 

  • Used Mercedes A-Class - engine

    Servicing is required every 12 months or 15,500 miles, whichever comes soonest

Used Mercedes A-Class (Mk3, 2013-2018) review

With decent tech and a broad engine range, the Mercedes A-Class is a strong premium hatchback – but it’s not quite the best of its era.
