2019 MERCEDES-BENZ A 220 A220

The auction lists the primary damage as “Left Side.” Stage 1 reports that the visible damage is concentrated at the left rear corner, including the left rear quarter panel, tail lamp, and bumper; the photos therefore support a left-side damage claim specifically affecting the rear-left area. The left rear quarter panel and rear corner are severely crushed and folded around the tail-lamp opening and wheel-arch area. The metal at the quarter panel and trunk-side edge is visibly creased and deformed. The left rear tail-lamp assembly is displaced from the body, with broken-looking or missing housing sections and exposed gaps behind it. The left side of the rear bumper is severely crushed, torn, and deformed, with substantial material loss and exposed internal areas. Lower bumper and trim pieces are detached and hanging below the vehicle, with broken and irregular edges. Dark scuff marks and scratches are visible across the damaged bumper and adjacent trunk-side panel. The extent of the visible damage warrants a detailed inspection of the underlying body structure, lamp wiring, bumper components, wheel-arch area, and any related safety systems before repair or purchase. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class A 220 sedan with front-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a seven-speed automated manual transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Mexico. NHTSA recall records list several campaigns for this model and year.
