2019 MERCEDES-BENZ A 220 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as “Left Rear.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, with severe crushing, tearing, broken lighting, and bumper separation concentrated at the left rear corner. The main damage affects the left rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area, which are visibly crushed and torn with irregular metal edges and exposed inner body structure. The left rear tail lamp is broken, with its lens and housing separated and internal components exposed. The left rear bumper corner is torn and displaced, with open gaps, broken edges, and exposed components. Additional damage includes missing exterior trim and bumper-side pieces, an opening and separated lower trim at the lower left rear bumper, and multiple scuff marks. Several detached and damaged exterior parts, including bumper, trim, and lamp-related components, are shown on the ground beside the vehicle. Scrapes and scratches are visible on the left rear quarter panel and lower C-pillar area. A light localized scuff is also present on the lower front bumper corner. The VIN decodes as a 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class sedan, A 220-4M trim designation, with front-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine producing 188 hp, and a seven-speed automated manual transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in Mexico. NHTSA records list recalls associated with this model and year involving the driver airbag module, eCall communication software, rearview-camera display and multimedia software, LED headlight adjustment, and the fuel rail and injectors. A later recall record also concerns the driver’s door-lock microswitch and possible automatic parking-brake or Auto-Park operation. Recall completion should be confirmed by checking the VIN with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA before purchase. The rear-corner damage should also be physically inspected for damage to the underlying body structure, wheel-arch area, lighting system, bumper mounting points, and related components before repair or operation.
