2019 MERCEDES-BENZ A 220 A220

The vehicle is a 2019 Mercedes-Benz A 220 sedan, identified by VIN WDD3G4EB5KW017831. Factory information lists front-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a seven-speed automated manual transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in Mexico. The auction condition is listed as Salvage, with Rear recorded as the primary damage classification. The auction damage classification is an unverified claim; however, the Stage 1 photo review states that the visible evidence supports the rear-damage claim, with extensive damage clearly visible at the left rear quarter panel, tail lamp, trunk-lid edge, and rear bumper. The most significant damage is concentrated at the left rear. The left rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area are severely crushed and deformed around the tail lamp, with exposed inner components and displaced panel edges. The left rear tail lamp is severely cracked and partially detached, with broken lens sections and exposed components. The left side of the rear bumper cover is severely torn and partially missing, while the lower rear bumper and diffuser area are broken, displaced, and incomplete. The left side of the trunk lid has moderate creasing and deformation, with an uneven, enlarged gap next to the damaged tail lamp. A small rectangular trim or insert is missing from the front bumper beside the grille on the vehicle’s left side. Minor dark scuffing and surface abrasions are also visible on the lower front bumper and front lip. The provided findings do not assess the vehicle’s mechanical systems, suspension, alignment, structural integrity, airbag system, wiring, or roadworthiness. A comprehensive physical inspection and diagnostic scan are recommended before purchase, with particular attention to the rear body structure, tail-lamp wiring, trunk alignment, bumper mounting points, and any systems affected by the collision. NHTSA records list recalls for this model and year involving the emergency-call communication module software, rearview-camera or display software, the driver’s front airbag module, LED headlight adjustment, and the fuel rail and injectors. The records also include a later recall concerning the driver’s door-lock microswitch for certain 2019–2022 A-Class vehicles. Recall completion status for this vehicle was not provided and should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA before purchase.
