Should I buy a used

A friend buys used cars and sells them on - he as just got a Mercedes-Benz A-Class W reg and has offered it cheap.

Now to look at it's a nice car and the drive was good but I keep hearing mixed reviews so I just wanted to know if it's worth getting. Would the cost in the end not be worth the saving I make in buying it?
