2019 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA 250 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as “Right Rear.” However, Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence does not support this claim: the major damage is concentrated on the left rear quarter panel and left rear bumper, while the right rear area appears substantially intact. The left rear quarter panel is severely creased and deformed around and above the wheel arch, extending toward the rear bumper junction and lower rear door. Multiple long horizontal scrape marks and areas of disturbed or exposed lighter-colored material are visible. The left rear bumper cover is severely detached and displaced outward and downward, with open gaps and exposed inner components and mounting areas. Broken or missing plastic sections are also visible near the left rear bumper corner and wheel-arch edge. The vehicle decodes as a 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class CLA 250 4MATIC sedan with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a seven-speed automated manual transmission. It was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Hungary. NHTSA records list several recalls applicable to this model and model year, including recalls involving the emergency-call communication module and, on vehicles equipped with a panoramic sunroof or subject to prior repair, bonding of the front roof panel. The recall remedies involve inspection, software updates or activation, and corrective roof-panel repair as applicable. Completion status should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer. The visible findings are concentrated at the left rear exterior. A physical inspection is recommended to check the quarter-panel structure, bumper reinforcement and mounting points, wheel-arch area, lighting and sensors, wheel alignment, and any damage not visible in the provided findings before repair or road use.
