2018 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA 250 CLA250

The auction record lists the vehicle’s condition as “Clear” and its primary damage as “Front End.” Stage 1 reports that the visible front-left bumper damage supports the “Front End” classification; however, the visible damage does not support the auction’s “Clear” condition claim. The documented damage is concentrated at the left front bumper. The bumper corner has extensive white paint transfer, scraped paint, and exposed darker material across the outer corner and lower section. A visible crack and open separation are present beside the headlamp and fender, where the bumper cover edge has pulled away from the adjacent body panel. The lower bumper trim at the left corner is also protruding and separated from the bumper surface. All listed damage is classified as moderate collision damage. Repair should include assessment of the bumper cover, mounting points, adjacent panels, and related components before estimating the full repair scope. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class CLA250 sedan, built in Kecskemét, Hungary. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder M270 engine and a seven-speed automated manual transmission. The decoded data lists front-wheel drive information as unavailable, so the drivetrain should be confirmed separately if relevant. The supplied NHTSA recall records include campaigns involving the emergency-call communication module software or activation (21V058000, 22V365000, and 21V072000), the driver air-bag grounding system (17V627000), and the front roof panel bonding on vehicles equipped with a panoramic sunroof (21V197000 and related expansion 23V854000). Recall applicability and completion status should be verified with a Mercedes-Benz dealer using the VIN before purchase.
