2021 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA 250 4MATIC

The auction lists the vehicle as Salvage, with Left Front as the primary damage area. Stage 1’s assessment reports that the visible evidence supports the Left Front claim: the left front headlamp is missing, and the left front bumper, fender, and hood edge show visible collision damage. The salvage title or status itself cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. Visible damage is concentrated at the left front corner. The left front headlamp assembly is absent, leaving an open cavity with the washer reservoir and other internal components exposed. The left side of the front bumper cover is broken, detached, and displaced outward, with open gaps and exposed mounting areas. Additional black plastic bumper components and trim pieces are detached and lying beside the vehicle. The left front fender edge is creased and deformed around the wheel opening, with separation and exposed internal components. The left front portion of the hood has an uneven, bent edge and an irregular gap next to the damaged fender and headlamp area. Several thin dark surface marks are also visible on the left front hood edge. No other damage findings were provided. Mechanical, structural, suspension, wheel, airbag, electrical, and drivetrain condition cannot be determined from these findings and should be inspected before purchase or repair. The VIN decodes to a 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class coupe, identified as a CLA250-4M, with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and 18-inch wheels. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Kecskemét, Hungary. The decoded equipment data lists LED low-beam headlamps, front and side airbags, electronic stability control, traction control, blind-spot monitoring, and a rear visibility system; some listed driver-assistance features are optional. The supplied recall information includes recall 21V058000 for communication-module software that may cause the emergency-call system to provide an incorrect vehicle location; recall 22V365000 for communication-module software that may disable the emergency-call function; and recall 21V354000 for MBUX software that may prevent the rearview-camera image from displaying correctly. A further listing, recall 26V481000, concerns the driver’s door-lock microswitch and possible failure of the automatic parking-brake or Auto-Park function. Recall completion and applicability to this specific VIN should be verified with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA before operation.
