2021 MERCEDES-BENZ A 220 A220

The vehicle is listed with a salvage condition and an auction primary-damage designation of “Front End.” The visible evidence supports this auction damage classification: the front bumper assembly, grille, and both headlamp assemblies are visibly missing or damaged. The front bumper cover, grille, and lower fascia are absent from the vehicle, exposing the radiators and other internal front-end components. Both headlamp assemblies are missing from their installed positions. The exposed front-corner plastic has broken and irregular edges, with open mounting areas visible on both sides. The removed bumper cover shows cracking, torn sections, and broken edges, while one removed headlamp has a shattered outer lens. The detached grille also has broken plastic around the left grille-surround area. The VIN decodes as a 2021 Mercedes-Benz A-Class A220 sedan, manufactured in Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder M260 engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The decoded information identifies left-hand drive, 17-inch front and rear wheels, and standard features including ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, a rear visibility system, and front and side airbags. NHTSA records list the following recalls for the applicable vehicle range: campaign 22V365000 for communication-module software that may disable the emergency call system; campaign 21V354000 for multimedia software that may prevent the rearview-camera image from displaying properly; and campaign 26V481000 concerning a driver’s-door-lock microswitch that may affect automatic parking-brake or Auto-Park operation and could increase rollaway risk. Recall completion and vehicle-specific applicability should be verified with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA using the VIN.
