2019 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA 250 CLA250

The auction lists the vehicle’s primary damage as rear damage. Stage 1’s assessment supports this claim: extensive damage is clearly visible across the left rear quarter, trunk lid, rear windshield opening, tail-lamp area, and rear bumper. The left rear quarter and surrounding metal at the trunk opening are severely crushed, folded, and displaced, with internal components exposed. The trunk lid is heavily creased and folded across the left side and center, and its rear edge is uneven. The rear windshield is missing, with shattered glass remaining around the perimeter. The left rear tail-lamp assembly is absent or extensively broken, leaving additional internal components exposed. The rear bumper cover is detached and lying behind the vehicle. Additional bumper sections and wiring are hanging below the rear body. The left rear bumper corner and adjacent body panels are severely crushed, torn, and displaced. The rear panel and trunk surround have sharp folds, buckling, torn edges, and displaced components. The fuel-filler door is missing, leaving the filler recess open. Minor surface scuffing is also visible on the right rear door and right rear quarter panel. The damage is concentrated at the rear and appears severe. A complete structural, mechanical, electrical, glass, restraint-system, and water-intrusion inspection will be required before determining whether the vehicle is safe or economically practical to repair. The findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, suspension, airbags, or underlying chassis structure. NHTSA VIN data identifies this vehicle as a 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class CLA 250 coupe, manufactured in Hungary. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder engine, a seven-speed automated manual transmission, and front- and side-impact airbags with seat-belt pretensioners and load limiters. Reported NHTSA recalls for this model and year include several communication-module and emergency-call system campaigns, involving possible incorrect vehicle-location transmission, mobile-network connection failure, or deactivation of the eCall function. Two additional recalls concern bonding of the front roof panel between the windshield and panoramic sunroof, which could allow the panel to detach after a prior repair. Recall completion and applicability to this specific vehicle should be verified with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer before purchase.
