2020 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA 250 4MATIC

The auction record identifies this 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 as salvage, with “Left Front” listed as the primary damage area. The visible damage is consistent with that location. Stage 1 reports that the left-front damage is supported by the visible missing fender and associated wheel-well, door-edge, and rocker-panel damage; however, the salvage title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The left front fender is missing, leaving the wheel-arch area and inner mounting surfaces exposed. The left front door has creasing and scraped paint along its front edge and lower front corner. The rocker panel or side-skirt area below the front door shows abrasion and deformation near the door opening. The left front wheel-well liner is detached and has fractured edges, broken sections, and separated mounting pieces. Light surface scuffing is also visible on the lower corner of the left front bumper. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class sedan, trim CLA250-4M, with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, a seven-speed automated manual transmission, and 18-inch front and rear wheels. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Kecskemét, Hungary. The decoded data does not specify the drivetrain beyond the CLA250-4M trim designation. NHTSA records list multiple recalls associated with this model and year. They include recalls involving the driver’s front airbag module, instrument-cluster software, communication-module activation and software, rearview-camera and display software, and the gasoline fuel rail and injectors. A later recall concerns corrosion of the driver’s door-lock microswitch, which may affect automatic parking-brake or Auto-Park operation; the listed owner notification date is September 18, 2026, and VIN search availability is scheduled for July 31, 2026. Recall completion for this specific vehicle should be verified with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA using the VIN before purchase.
