2019 MERCEDES-BENZ A 220 A220

The vehicle is a 2019 Mercedes-Benz A 220 sedan with front-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a seven-speed automated manual transmission. NHTSA decoding identifies the engine as the M260, with an output listed at 188 hp. The vehicle was manufactured in Mexico. The auction lists the vehicle as Salvage, with “Left Rear” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that visible severe damage is present at the left rear, supporting the stated primary-damage code. However, the Salvage title status cannot be verified from photos alone. The most significant damage is concentrated at the left rear. The left rear quarter panel is severely crushed and creased around the wheel arch, fuel-filler area, and tail-lamp edge. The left rear bumper cover is severely detached, torn, and deformed, with large gaps, abrasions, exposed mounting areas, and other open sections. The left rear tail lamp is damaged along its lower and outer edges, with irregular gaps between the lamp and surrounding bodywork. A lower bumper reflector or trim section is missing on the left side, and the corresponding rectangular reflector or trim components are also absent from both sides of the rear bumper. Additional collision damage is present at the front lower bumper on the vehicle’s right side. The bumper cover is cracked and displaced around a protruding metal tow eye, and an adjacent lower grille or trim section is separated or missing. Several small paint chips are visible on the hood. The provided findings document exterior damage only and do not establish the condition of the underlying body structure, suspension, wheel alignment, lighting systems, airbag system, mechanical components, or electrical systems. A complete inspection should include the rear quarter-panel and wheel-arch structure, bumper mounting points, tail-lamp wiring, fuel-filler area, front bumper and tow-eye area, underbody, alignment, and all safety systems before purchase or repair approval.
