2022 MERCEDES-BENZ A 220 A220

The vehicle is listed with a salvage condition and a “Right Front” primary-damage designation. Stage 1’s photo assessment supports the general salvage classification because substantial front-end damage is visible, but contradicts the stated primary-damage code: the visible damage is concentrated at the front-left/driver-side corner. The front-left bumper cover and lower fascia are severely split, displaced, and partially detached, with broken sections hanging away from the vehicle and internal components exposed. The front-left headlamp assembly is missing. Body panels and trim are missing from the front-left corner, and the front-left fender area is torn open around the wheel opening. The wheel-arch and wheel-well liner is cracked, torn, and displaced. The front-left portion of the hood has severe creasing and deformation, including a raised and irregular edge, displaced material near the hinge-side corner, and scraped paint. The Mercedes grille emblem is missing. Several horizontal gray scuff marks are visible on the left front door and adjacent bodywork. A small dark scuff is also present on the visible rear bumper corner. Based on the recorded findings, the damage is concentrated at the front-left exterior and may involve components behind the damaged panels. The condition of the suspension, steering, cooling system, lighting system, safety systems, engine, transmission, and structural members is not established by these findings and should be confirmed through a physical inspection and functional testing. The VIN decode identifies this vehicle as a 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class A 220 sedan with a gasoline 2.0-liter M260 four-cylinder engine, turbocharging, and a seven-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Rastatt, Germany. The decode also lists several standard driver-assistance and safety systems, but their condition and operation cannot be confirmed from the damage findings. One NHTSA recall is listed for this model year: campaign 26V481000 concerns possible corrosion and failure of the driver’s door-lock microswitch, which may prevent automatic engagement of the electronic parking brake or Auto-Park feature and could allow vehicle rollaway. The stated remedy is replacement of the driver’s door lock. Recall applicability and completion should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA, particularly because the supplied notice indicates future VIN-search availability and owner notification.
