2015 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA CLA250 4 MATIC

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage-title condition with “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the reported front-end damage code through extensive missing components and exposed cooling components; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA has extensive damage concentrated at the front. The front bumper cover and grille are missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement, radiator, condenser, cooling components, and other internal front-end structures. The passenger-side front headlamp assembly is absent, leaving an open cavity with internal components visible. The driver-side front bumper corner cover is also missing. The passenger-side front wheel-arch liner and adjacent trim are torn or partially absent, with loose material around the wheel. Electrical wiring and connectors are visibly loose and hanging in the lower front-end area. Several dark surface scuffs are present on the driver-side front fender near the wheel opening. The exposed radiator and condenser should be inspected for impact damage, leaks, mounting damage, and proper operation, along with the front structural components, lighting system, wiring, and cooling system. The instrument display reportedly shows an “Auxiliary Battery Malfunction” message. This is a concern requiring diagnostic testing, as the available findings do not establish the underlying cause or confirm system function. Factory decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class CLA250 4MATIC sedan with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, and a direct tire-pressure monitoring system. The VIN data identifies Germany as the plant country. A complete mechanical, structural, electrical, and safety-system inspection is recommended before purchase or repair.
