2018 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA 250 CLA250

The auction lists the primary damage as Front End. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, with extensive missing, broken, and detached front bumper and fascia components. The painted front bumper cover is missing from the vehicle, exposing the metal bumper reinforcement, radiator assemblies, and other internal front-end components. The removed bumper cover has extensive cracking and broken plastic across its center and lower sections, with separated pieces and scraped paint. The lower center grille and surrounding fascia are also absent, leaving the radiator area exposed. Black lower bumper trim, under-bumper plastics, and wheel-arch components are detached or missing at both front corners. Several pieces hang below the vehicle, and internal wheel-well areas are visible. The exposed bumper reinforcement has multiple scuff marks and surface abrasions. The available findings document substantial front-end collision damage; they do not establish the condition of mechanical, cooling, steering, suspension, or safety-system components behind the damaged fascia. A complete physical inspection is recommended before purchase or operation. Factory VIN data identifies this vehicle as a 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 sedan, VIN WDDSJ4EBXJN526721. It is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, a seven-speed automated manual transmission, and front-wheel drive information was not provided in the decode. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Kecskemét, Hungary. NHTSA records show recalls associated with this vehicle configuration, including recalls involving the emergency-call communication module software or activation, a potential unintended driver-airbag deployment caused by insufficient steering-component grounding, and the bonding of the front roof panel on vehicles equipped with a panoramic sunroof. The roof-panel recall concerns a panel that may have been improperly bonded during a prior repair. Recall completion status for this individual vehicle should be confirmed with Mercedes-Benz using the VIN before purchase.
