2020 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA 250 CLA250

The auction lists the primary damage as Right Front. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim: the right front headlamp is missing, and the right front bumper corner is damaged and separated. The right front headlamp assembly is absent, leaving a large opening at the front corner. The bumper cover is separated and irregular around this area, with the upper corner detached from the adjacent body panel and a lower section visibly displaced. The center grille emblem is also missing. The instrument display shows the warning, “Check Right Low Beam.” Additional minor exterior damage is visible at the right rear. The quarter panel above and behind the wheel opening has a localized scrape with light-colored paint transfer, and a short horizontal scrape is present near the right rear bumper-to-quarter-panel transition. The vehicle is identified by VIN decoding as a 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class CLA 250 sedan with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, seven-speed automated manual transmission, and front-wheel drive information not provided in the decode. The vehicle was manufactured in Hungary. The decoded equipment includes LED low-beam headlamps, adaptive cruise control, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, a rearview camera, electronic stability control, traction control, and direct tire-pressure monitoring. The supplied NHTSA recall records include campaigns concerning the communication module and emergency-call system, rearview-camera or multimedia software, the driver-side front airbag module, instrument-cluster software, the fuel rail and injectors, and a driver-door-lock microswitch. Campaign 26V481000 is listed with owner notification expected in September 2026 and VIN search availability beginning July 31, 2026. Recall completion should be verified with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA before purchase. Because the right headlamp is missing and the bumper structure is visibly separated, the vehicle should undergo a complete physical inspection before repair or road use. This should include checking the headlamp wiring and mounting points, bumper supports and adjacent front-end components, the source of the low-beam warning, vehicle lighting operation, and the status of all outstanding recall repairs.
