2023 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA AMG CLA45

The vehicle is listed with a PERMIT SALVAGE condition and FRONT END as the auction’s primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END damage claim, based on substantial damage and missing components at the front-right corner. The PERMIT SALVAGE status cannot be confirmed or disproved from exterior photographs alone. The main damage is concentrated at the front-right side. The front-right fender is severely crushed and sharply creased around the wheel opening and front corner, with torn and irregular panel edges. The hood has moderate deformation and creasing at its front-right edge, accompanied by an uneven gap near the fender and headlamp area. The front-right headlamp assembly is missing, leaving internal components exposed. The front-right bumper cover is severely broken and displaced, with missing sections and exposed components behind the fascia. Grille and bumper trim in this area is cracked, separated, and partially missing. Internal front-end components and mounting areas are also visible where the exterior fascia and lamp components are absent. A minor dark surface scuff is present on the painted rear bumper near one corner. No other findings were provided. A thorough inspection should assess the underlying front-end structure, mounting points, cooling and electrical components, suspension, wheel area, and proper operation of all replaced or repaired systems.
