This 2001 Mercedes-Benz A-Class (specifically the 170 CDI variant) is a rare, older compact hatchback with a manual diesel engine. While the data confirms a German origin and consistent official records, the significant gap between the 2001 manufacture year and the 2013 first registration requires clarification, and the absence of verified mileage data is a notable factor to consider.
Verdict
This vehicle presents a unique profile as an early-generation Mercedes-Benz A-Class, confirmed by official records to be a 2001 model manufactured in Germany. The consistency between the official NHTSA data and aggregated market sources regarding the brand, year, and core specifications provides a solid baseline for identification. However, the long interval between the manufacturing year (2001) and the first registration (2013) suggests the car may have been stored for a significant period or imported later, which is a key detail for your evaluation.

What to watch for
Age-related wear: As a 2001 vehicle, inspect the suspension components, bushings, and rubber seals for dry rot or cracking due to age.
Diesel Engine Maintenance: The OM668 diesel engine is robust but requires strict maintenance of the injection pump and injectors; listen for unusual knocking or excessive smoke.
Rust Inspection: Check the wheel arches, door sills, and undercarriage for rust, which can be an issue on older Mercedes models.
Electrical Systems: Verify that all electronics, including windows, locks, and dashboard displays, function correctly, as aging wiring can cause intermittent faults.
Reviews
No reviews data available.
Warnings
Registration Gap: There is a significant gap between the manufacturing year (2001) and the first registration (2013). Verify why the car was registered so much later than its production date.
Import Verification: The VIN indicates German origin. If this car was imported from outside the EU, ensure it has proper homologation documents for the local market.
Physical Inspection: Given the age and lack of verified mileage, a thorough physical inspection by a qualified mechanic is strongly recommended to assess the true condition of the engine and chassis.
