What the Mercedes-Benz A-Class figures say
The biggest single step down is into 2018: the median asks 17.6% less than the model year above it, on 22 listings.
It is down to half its 2026 asking price by the 2019 model year, 7 years of age.
At about 10.6% a year it falls more slowly than the typical model tracked here, which loses 14% a year.
Mercedes-Benz A-Class depreciation: common questions
How much does a Mercedes-Benz A-Class lose in a year?
About 10.6% of its asking price a year, fitted across the 13 model years with three or more DoneDeal listings (R² 0.99). That is an average over the whole curve: the first years fall harder than the later ones, which is what the value-kept column above shows year by year.
What does a five-year-old Mercedes-Benz A-Class cost in Ireland?
The median asking price of a 2021 Mercedes-Benz A-Class on DoneDeal is €27,900, across 18 listings, or 58% of what the 2026 model year asks.
When does a Mercedes-Benz A-Class stop losing value quickly?
Around year 13. After that the year-on-year drop stays under 10%, measured over 15 listings at that age. Buying past that point is where the depreciation curve stops doing most of the work.
Where do these Mercedes-Benz A-Class figures come from?
From 238 public DoneDeal listings recorded by DD Price Tracker, grouped by model year. They are asking prices, not sale prices: what sellers want for the car, which is the number a buyer negotiates down from. Nothing about a seller is stored.
