2021 MERCEDES-BENZ A 220 A220

The vehicle is listed with an auction primary-damage claim of front-end damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, including the missing bumper cover and grille, missing headlamp, damaged front fascia components, and visible hood, fender, and wheel-well damage. The front bumper cover and center grille are missing, leaving the bumper reinforcement, radiator area, wiring, and other internal front components exposed. A detached bumper cover is also shown separately, with separated sections, broken-looking mounting edges, and missing openings for front lighting components. The front left headlamp is absent from its mounting position, and a complete detached headlamp assembly is shown on the ground. Additional collision damage is visible at the front of the vehicle. The hood’s leading edge and corners are deformed and have chipped paint. The leading edge of the front left fender is deformed and separated from the front fascia, with exposed inner structure and paint loss. The front left wheel-well liner is torn or separated and hangs outward, exposing components behind it. Lower front trim and grille-related plastic sections are detached and displaced, with open gaps across the lower fascia. The exposed metal bumper reinforcement has broad scuffing and surface abrasion. The VIN decodes as a 2021 Mercedes-Benz A-Class A220 sedan, built in Germany. It has a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The decoded equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, ABS, stability control, traction control, direct TPMS, a standard rearview camera system, and LED low-beam headlamps. Some decoded equipment information may vary for non-U.S.-market vehicles. NHTSA records list recalls associated with this vehicle’s make, model, and year. Campaign 22V365000 concerns communication-module SIM-card software that may disable the eCall emergency-call system. Campaign 21V354000 concerns MBUX software that may cause the rearview-camera display to remain blank or reboot. Campaign 26V481000 concerns possible corrosion of the driver’s door-lock microswitch, which may prevent automatic engagement of the electronic parking brake or Auto-Park function and could contribute to vehicle rollaway. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA before purchase. The front-end damage may also require inspection of the lighting, wiring, driver-assistance systems, cooling components, and underlying structure before repair or road use.
