Model choice
The A-Class is the entry point and the easiest to run; the C-Class is the long-distance choice; the GLA and GLC add height without much extra fuel cost.
- A-Class — modern MBUX cabin, low insurance in SE and Sport trims.
- C-Class — the best Suffolk-to-London motorway car in the range.
- GLA / GLC — raised seating, useful boots, family friendly.
- AMG Line — sharper looks, firmer ride; test drive before deciding.
Points to check
Look for a full service history, working COMAND or MBUX functions, no warning lights after a cold start, and even brake wear. On diesels, check the DPF has not been repeatedly regenerating from short journeys only.
