2021 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA 250 CLA250

The auction lists the primary damage as **Front End**. Stage 1’s assessment states that the visible evidence supports this claim: the front bumper fascia, grille, and both headlamp assemblies are absent, with broken front fender edges, detached wheel-arch panels, and exposed front-end components visible. The vehicle has severe damage to the front assembly. The front bumper fascia, grille, and both headlamps are missing and were shown detached from the vehicle. The radiator, bumper supports, brackets, and wiring are exposed. Both front fenders have broken leading edges around the headlamp and bumper openings. The wheel-arch liners and lower plastic panels are detached on both sides, while electrical wiring and connectors are hanging loose in the lower bumper areas. The instrument cluster displays a “Check Left Low Beam” warning. The VIN decodes as a 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class CLA 250 coupe, equipped 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 Hungary. The decoded data identifies left-hand drive and five-passenger seating; drivetrain information was not provided. The supplied NHTSA recall data lists recalls concerning the emergency-call communication module software, the rearview-camera display system, and the driver’s door-lock microswitch. The listed remedies involve software updates or replacement of the driver’s door lock, as applicable. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA before purchase. A complete inspection should determine the condition of the radiator, bumper supports, brackets, front-end carrier, wiring, lighting systems, driver-assistance components, and any components behind the visible damage. The missing and detached parts will require replacement and proper installation, followed by electrical, warning-system, and roadworthiness testing.
