2020 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA 250 CLA250

The auction lists the primary damage as Left Rear. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this designation, with the most significant damage concentrated at the left rear corner. The left rear taillight is severely damaged: the lens and internal components are shattered, leaving openings and exposed parts. The left side of the rear bumper cover is severely crushed, torn, and displaced, with broken edges and exposed areas. The left rear quarter panel below and around the taillight has severe deformation, deep creasing, abrasions, and displaced body material. The lower bumper trim and diffuser are detached and hanging away from the vehicle, with broken sections and exposed mounting points. Wiring, fasteners, and other internal bumper components are visible in the damaged area. There is also a moderately enlarged and uneven gap between the left side of the trunk lid and the adjacent rear body panel. Pronounced scratches, scuffs, and light-colored abrasion marks are present across the left rear quarter panel and bumper. Separate minor cosmetic issues include light linear scuffing on the lower-middle area of the left front door, along with paint loss and superficial scuffing on the lower edge of the front bumper. Based on the supplied findings, this vehicle requires substantial repair to the left rear lighting, bumper assembly, diffuser and trim, quarter panel, and related mounting and wiring areas. The visible findings do not establish the condition of hidden structural, suspension, mechanical, electrical, or safety-system components. A physical inspection and diagnostic assessment are recommended before purchase, particularly because wiring and internal bumper components are exposed.
