2019 MERCEDES-BENZ A 220 4MATIC

This 2019 Mercedes-Benz A 220 is listed by the auction with a Salvage condition and Front End as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated Front End claim: the front bumper cover, grille, and both headlamp assemblies are missing, with additional deformation to the hood, front reinforcement, and exposed front-end components. Stage 1 also states that the Salvage condition cannot be independently confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The front bumper cover and grille are absent, exposing the front reinforcement, cooling components, wiring, and inner front structure. Both headlamp assemblies are missing, leaving open mounting areas and disconnected wiring at the front corners. The exposed metal reinforcement has pronounced downward and central deformation, while the visible radiator and condenser area appears bowed across the front face. The lower front support is also visibly deformed and unevenly positioned. The front edge of the hood is creased and uneven, with an irregular gap above the exposed components. Both front fender edges are distorted around the headlamp openings, with exposed inner material. The left front wheel-well liner is torn or displaced, exposing part of the inner wheel-well area. Electrical wiring and connectors are hanging loose below and beside the front cooling assembly. The instrument cluster displays “Check Left Low Beam.” Several light linear scuffs are visible on the lower portion of the left front door. No other findings were provided. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class sedan with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, front-wheel drive, and a seven-speed automated manual transmission. The decoded engine model is M260, with a listed output of 188 hp. The vehicle was manufactured in Mexico. NHTSA records list the following recalls for this model and year: campaign 19V685000 concerning the driver-side frontal airbag module; 21V058000 and 22V365000 concerning communication-module software and emergency-call functionality; 21V354000 and 22V232000 concerning rearview-camera display software; 21V509000 concerning LED headlight adjustment; 21V961000 concerning possible fuel-rail and injector fuel leakage; and 26V481000 concerning the driver’s door-lock microswitch and automatic parking-brake or Auto-Park operation. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA, particularly because the vehicle has missing headlights, loose front wiring, and visible collision damage.
