2017 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA 250 CLA250

The auction lists the primary damage as “Rear.” Stage 1’s photo-based assessment states that the visible evidence supports this designation: the rear bumper cover and left rear tail lamp are missing, leaving rear components exposed. The rear bumper cover is absent from the vehicle, exposing the bumper reinforcement and underlying components. A detached bumper cover is also shown separately, with broken and torn mounting edges. The left rear tail lamp is missing from its opening, and the detached lamp assembly is shown on the ground. The instrument cluster displays the warning, “Check Left Brake Lamp.” According to the VIN decoding, this is a 2017 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class CLA 250 sedan, built in Hungary. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The decoded safety equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward collision warning, a rear visibility system, and direct tire-pressure monitoring. The decoded data does not specify the drivetrain. The documented damage is concentrated at the rear, but the condition of the bumper reinforcement, mounting points, rear body structure, wiring, lamp connectors, and other underlying components cannot be determined from these findings. Replacement parts, repairs, and electrical testing will be required before the vehicle can be considered road-ready.
