2016 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA 250 CLA250

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a “Clear” condition and classifies the primary damage as “Normal Wear & Tear.” However, Stage 1 reports that the visible hood denting and exterior scuffing do not support either the “Clear” auction title or the “Normal Wear & Tear” damage classification. The main visible issue is moderate damage to the front hood, with multiple shallow depressions and creased areas across the left and center sections. Minor paint chipping is present along the front-left hood edge above the headlamp. A light surface scuff is visible on the front-left fender near the wheel arch, and the lower front bumper lip has light scuffing and paint transfer. Several thin scuff marks are also present on the lower-left side of the rear bumper. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class CLA 250 sedan, manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Hungary. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine. The decoded safety equipment includes front airbags, side airbags for the first and second rows, curtain airbags, seat-belt pretensioners and load limiters, electronic tire-pressure monitoring, and manual seat belts. Drive type and transmission details were not provided by the VIN decode. The reported findings are limited to exterior body and cosmetic damage. A physical inspection is recommended to assess the hood, bumper surfaces, paint condition, panel alignment, and any related components before purchase.
