2021 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA 250 CLA250

The auction lists the primary damage as “Right Side.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this designation, with substantial collision damage identified on the right front door, right rear door, right rear quarter panel, and right rocker panel. The right rear door has a large inward dent with multiple sharp creases extending from the handle area toward the lower edge. The lower door edge is distorted, with paint loss and blue-green transfer marks. The right rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area are also severely dented and creased around the wheel arch and rear door gap, with additional blue-green transfer marks and paint disruption. The lower right rocker panel is crushed and heavily creased between the doors. Gaps and exposed underlying material are visible along its lower edge. The right front door has a moderate dent below and behind the handle, along with deformation and scuffing near the rocker panel. The findings indicate significant structural-area body damage on the vehicle’s right side. Further inspection should assess the rocker panel, door structures, quarter panel, wheel-arch area, door alignment, and any related safety or mechanical components before repair or operation. The VIN decodes as a 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250/CLA-Class four-door coupe with a turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine, nine-speed automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Kecskemét, Hungary. NHTSA records list recalls concerning communication-module software and emergency-call functionality, MBUX software that may affect rearview-camera operation, and a driver’s-door-lock microswitch that may affect automatic parking-brake or Auto-Park engagement. Recall completion and applicability should be confirmed by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer before purchase.
