Any pre-facelift car is essentially the same underneath — the sedan launched in 2018 and Mercedes made no major mechanical changes until the 2023 refresh, so year matters far less here than mileage and how the previous owner treated the dual-clutch gearbox.
The Volkswagen Golf is similar money and inspects cleaner for interior staining — 26% against 36% — so it is worth cross-shopping if you do not need the badge. The A250 is cheaper and has a stronger tyre-condition record, though it is the older hatchback shape rather than this sedan.
The cars we inspect run to a median of around 100,000 km, which is a normal middle-age mileage for this generation rather than a warning sign — the 2.0-litre turbo four and 7G-DCT gearbox are built to comfortably exceed it with regular servicing.
Read the CarSwitch inspection report before you buy — with year telling you so little on this car, condition is the whole decision.
