2026 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA 250 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as **Left Rear**. Stage 1’s photo review supports this classification: the most prominent damage is concentrated in the left rear quarter panel, tail lamp, bumper corner, and wheel area. The left rear quarter panel is severely crushed, with extensive creasing and deformation around the wheel arch and rear lamp area. Dark inner areas are exposed at the wheel opening. The left rear wheel and tire assembly is visibly displaced outside the wheel opening and angled away from the vehicle, exposing the wheel-well area and components behind it. The extent of this displacement requires a thorough inspection of the suspension, wheel, tire, hub, and related structural components. The left rear tail lamp lens and housing are broken, with missing sections and internal components exposed. The left rear bumper corner has deep horizontal scrapes, deformation, and damaged surface material. Lower bumper and exhaust-surround trim on the left side is detached and hanging below the vehicle. The VIN decodes as a 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class GLA 250 4MATIC SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in Germany. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this make, model, and year: recall **26V134000**, concerning an incorrectly installed door Bowden cable that may prevent a door from opening from inside the vehicle. The stated remedy is dealer inspection and repair of the cable assembly as necessary, free of charge. Recall completion should be verified by VIN before purchase or registration.
