2024 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA 250 COUPE CLA250

The vehicle is a 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 Coupe. The auction lists the condition as “Salvage” and the primary damage as “Left Rear.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the Left Rear damage code, with extensive damage concentrated around the left rear quarter panel, taillight area, trunk lid, and bumper. However, Stage 1 also states that the Salvage title/status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The left rear quarter panel and rear corner are severely crushed and creased around the taillight opening, with exposed inner body areas and broken trim. The left rear taillight assembly is missing, leaving the lamp cavity, wiring, mounting points, and inner body panel exposed. The rear bumper cover is extensively cracked, torn, scuffed, and partially detached, with broken mounting areas, missing sections, exposed lower components, and a detached bumper section shown on the ground. The separate bumper panel has broken edges, deep abrasions, dirt transfer, and surface scrapes. The trunk lid is severely buckled and creased along the left side and rear edge. Chipped paint and an irregular, uneven gap are visible where it meets the surrounding body panels. The available findings describe severe collision damage concentrated at the left rear of the vehicle. Mechanical, structural, electrical, and safety-system condition cannot be determined from these findings and should be verified through a comprehensive physical inspection and repair assessment. The VIN decode identifies the vehicle as a Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class/CLA250 with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder M260 gasoline engine, turbocharging, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It is listed as a four-door sedan/saloon with coupe body styling, built by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Kecskemét, Hungary. The decode also lists standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, blind-spot monitoring, park assist, and a rear-visibility system.
