2022 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA 250 COUPE CLA250

The auction lists the primary damage as “Right Rear.” However, Stage 1’s photo-based assessment states that the visible evidence does not support this claim: the clearly visible major damage is concentrated on the left rear quarter panel, left rear lamp, and left rear bumper. The left rear quarter panel is severely crushed and folded around the wheel arch, extending upward toward the C-pillar and rear door opening. There are extensive sharp creases and inward deformation above and behind the left rear wheel. The left rear combination lamp is displaced, with exposed housing edges and an irregular opening around the assembly. The left rear bumper cover is severely torn and pulled away from the body, creating a large open gap and exposing attachment points and components behind the bumper. The lower bumper trim and left exhaust-outlet surround are also detached or hanging away from the bumper. Deformation is visible along the left edge of the trunk lid and the adjacent panel seam. A minor dark horizontal scuff is present on the lower-middle area of the left rear door. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class/CLA 250 passenger car with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, seven-speed automatic transmission, and front-row and side-curtain airbag equipment as specified in the available data. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Kecskemét, Hungary. The decoder identifies the body class as Sedan/Saloon and also lists a coupe body-style designation. The visible damage is substantial and primarily affects the left rear body structure, lighting, bumper, and adjacent trunk area. A physical inspection is recommended to assess repairs behind the damaged panels, the condition of the wheel-arch and rear body structure, lamp and bumper mounting points, and any related mechanical or safety-system effects.
