2019 MERCEDES-BENZ A 220 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as Left Side. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, with substantial damage along the left front fender, front door edge and rocker area, together with additional damage at the left rear bumper. The most significant damage is concentrated at the left front corner. The left front fender is severely crushed and deeply creased around the wheel opening and behind the headlamp. The adjacent front edge of the left front door and rocker area are also visibly crushed, creased and irregular, with scraped paint and exposed damaged material. The left front bumper is displaced outward and downward, with a large open or missing section around the lower lamp/vent area and torn or broken plastic edges. The left headlamp is out of alignment, with gaps between it and the surrounding hood, fender and bumper. The hood is raised and does not sit flush with the surrounding panels. It has a wide, uneven front gap and a pronounced gap along the damaged left fender. The left side of the front bumper is separated from the adjacent bodywork. Additional damage is present at the left rear. The rear bumper corner has multiple dark, deep-looking abrasion and scuff marks. The bumper is separated below the left tail lamp, and the lower-left reflector or trim insert is missing, leaving the opening exposed. The VIN decode identifies this vehicle as a 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class sedan, powered by a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine rated at 188 hp. It is listed with front-wheel drive and a seven-speed automated manual transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in Mexico. NHTSA records list several recalls applicable to the 2019 A 220, including recalls involving the driver-side frontal airbag module, emergency-call communication software, rearview-camera or multimedia software, LED headlight adjustment, and the fuel rail and injectors. A later-listed recall concerns the driver’s door-lock microswitch and potential automatic parking-brake or Auto-Park operation; owner notification is expected in September 2026, with VIN searching scheduled to begin July 31, 2026. Recall completion should be confirmed directly by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA before purchase. The visible damage indicates that substantial collision repairs will be required, particularly to the left front body structure and exterior panels. A physical inspection should verify the condition of the suspension, wheel and tire, steering, lighting, airbags, sensors, cooling and mechanical components, as well as the alignment of the repaired bodywork. Recall repairs and any prior repair quality should also be confirmed.
