2018 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA 250 CLA250

The auction lists the primary damage as Front End. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification, with extensive damage to the hood, bumper cover, grille area, and front fascia. The hood is severely buckled and creased across the front section, with a raised, irregular leading edge. The front bumper cover is torn, deformed, and displaced, exposing large sections of the front opening and loose wiring. The central grille assembly is missing, and fascia and grille-surround trim at both front corners is broken, torn, or absent. The bumper reinforcement and mounting components are exposed, while the front right corner has an open and damaged bumper area, broken plastic, exposed hardware, and displaced components around the headlamp. There are large uneven gaps and deformed panel edges around the hood, fenders, and headlamp areas. The exposed radiator or cooler assembly has visibly bent and irregular fin sections. The findings document substantial visible front-end collision damage; they do not establish the condition of concealed structural, cooling, electrical, restraint, suspension, or drivetrain components. A thorough physical inspection and post-repair diagnostic assessment would be required before purchase or road use. The VIN decodes as a 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class CLA 250 sedan, VIN WDDSJ4EB0JN514433. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder engine, rated at 208 horsepower, and a seven-speed automated manual transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Kecskemét, Hungary. The supplied recall information identifies several applicable Mercedes-Benz campaigns, including recalls involving the emergency-call communication module software or activation, a potential driver-airbag deployment issue, and the bonding of the front roof panel on vehicles equipped with a panoramic sunroof. The roof-panel recall was later expanded in a subsequent campaign. Recall completion status is not provided, so the VIN should be checked with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer before purchase to confirm whether any repairs remain outstanding.
