2022 MERCEDES-BENZ A 220 A220

The auction lists the primary damage as Front End. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment supports this claim: the front bumper cover, grille, both headlamp assemblies, and additional front-end components are visibly missing, broken, or displaced. The vehicle has extensive severe front-end collision damage. The bumper cover, grille, and both headlamp assemblies are absent, exposing the radiator assemblies, bumper reinforcement, brackets, wiring, and other internal components. The metal bumper reinforcement is visibly bowed, uneven, and sagging. Lower front supports, trim, and grille sections are broken, separated, or missing, with detached pieces visible below the vehicle. Additional damage includes a displaced washer-fluid reservoir, loose wiring and connectors at the front corners, broken or missing wheel-arch and fender-liner plastics, and deformation along the front edge of the hood. The hood has irregular gaps above the exposed front structure, including a distorted right-front corner. The removed bumper and grille assembly also show broken mounting areas, separated trim, scuffing, and deformation. The full extent of damage to the cooling system, sensors, wiring, structural components, and other mechanical or safety systems requires a thorough physical inspection. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2022 Mercedes-Benz A-Class A 220 sedan manufactured in Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, a seven-speed automatic transmission, and an M260 engine. The decode lists standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, rear automatic emergency braking, adaptive driving beams, and a rear visibility system. Some decoded equipment information may vary for non-U.S.-market vehicles. One NHTSA recall is listed for this model range: recall 26V481000 concerns the driver’s door-lock microswitch, which may corrode and fail to detect an open door. This could prevent the electronic parking brake or Auto-Park feature from engaging automatically and may create a rollaway risk. The stated remedy is replacement of the driver’s door lock by a dealer at no charge. Recall applicability and completion should be confirmed by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA.
