2019 MERCEDES-BENZ A 220 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as “Front End.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim. The vehicle has extensive severe collision damage across the front end. The hood is heavily bent and creased, with its front edge raised, sharply folded, and not seated in its normal closed position. The front bumper cover and lower fascia are detached, displaced forward and downward, and broken in several areas. Both front fender areas are damaged, with severe creasing, tearing, and displaced material around the headlamp and wheel-arch sections. The front-right headlamp assembly is missing, leaving an open cavity with wiring and internal components exposed. The opposite front corner also has separated body panels and deformed sheet metal. The front grille and lower opening are exposed, with internal components and the front reinforcement visible. The full condition of the underlying structure, cooling system, suspension, steering, airbags, electrical systems, and drivetrain cannot be determined from these findings and requires a thorough physical inspection before purchase or repair. NHTSA VIN data identifies this vehicle as a 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class sedan with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine, front-wheel drive, and a seven-speed automated manual transmission. The decoded engine output is listed as 188 horsepower. The supplied NHTSA recall records include recalls concerning the emergency-call communication module software, rearview-camera and multimedia-system software, the driver airbag module, LED headlight adjustment, the fuel rail and injectors, and the driver’s door-lock microswitch. Recall applicability and completion status should be confirmed by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA before the vehicle is returned to service.
