2019 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA 250 CLA250

The auction record lists the vehicle condition as “Clear” and the primary damage as “Rear.” However, Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence contradicts the “Clear” condition designation because substantial rear collision damage is clearly visible. Stage 1 also finds that the auction’s “Rear” damage classification is supported by the missing rear bumper cover and rear lamp assemblies. The rear bumper cover is missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement, lower rear structure, mounting brackets, trim components, and exhaust outlet. Both rear lamp assemblies are absent, with blue tape covering the openings. Detached rear bumper and lamp assemblies are shown placed beside the vehicle. The lower portion of the trunk lid around the license-plate recess has an irregular, deformed contour. Both rear quarter-panel edges near the lamp and bumper openings show scuffing, damaged trim interfaces, irregular edges, and exposed damaged surfaces. The supplied findings document visible exterior collision damage only. They do not establish the condition of the vehicle’s mechanical systems, electrical systems, structural alignment, wiring, or safety systems. A thorough physical inspection is recommended, including inspection behind the rear bumper, the quarter panels, trunk structure, exhaust area, lighting wiring, parking or safety sensors, and the operation of the trunk lid. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class CLA250 coupe, built in Hungary. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder M270 gasoline engine, turbocharging, and a seven-speed automated manual transmission. The decoded information lists approximately 208 horsepower and does not provide a drive-type designation. NHTSA records list several recalls applicable to the 2019 CLA-Class or CLA250. These include recalls concerning the emergency-call communication module, including possible incorrect vehicle-location transmission, mobile-network connection failure, or deactivation of the eCall function. Records also list roof-panel bonding recalls for vehicles equipped with a panoramic sunroof, including a recall concerning a front roof panel that may have been improperly bonded during a prior repair. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz before purchase.
