A newly launched or early‐used Mercedes often shields its brand equity, but typical depreciation for the entry‑level Clase A follows a predictable curve:
- First year: 15‑20 % of original value – a common rate for compact luxury EVs in the global market
- Second‑five years: 10‑12 % per annum – slower as the vehicle matures and demand for smooth ride and tech features remains steady
- Beyond five years: 5‑8 % yearly – residual value is largely driven by mileage and maintenance history
Because the Mercedes-Benz Clase A blends premium cabin comfort with spirited performance, its depreciation curve is typically kinder than that of non‑premium compact models.
Depreciation Estimate in Context—“Mercedes-Benz Class A Depreciation”In practice, a 2012 model bought brand‑new would have had a sticker price of roughly €27,000‑€30,000 in Europe. By 2020, after about 8 years, an average market listing would reflect a value of roughly 30‑35 % of that sticker price, aligning with the depreciation estimate above. Another way to view it is that the vehicle loses about 70‑70.5 % of its original value in 8 years—well below the typical 80‑90 % loss for most compact cars.
Used Mercedes‑Benz Clase A Price Snapshot—“Used Mercedes Benz Clase A price”When searching for a used 2012 Mercedes-Benz Clase A, price variations are significant.

Market factors—such as country of origin, vehicle condition, and the presence of a dealer‑grade service history—alleviate or accentuate price ranges. A typical reference for such an item will represent a value between 30‑35 % of the original specification price, but always verify the vehicle’s history before committing.
