2015 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA CLA250 4 MATIC

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate of title, with SIDE recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible denting, creasing, deformation, and paint abrasion on the left side support the auction’s unverified SIDE damage claim. The salvage certificate status itself cannot be confirmed from the photos alone. The main visible damage is concentrated on the left rear side. The lower and rear portion of the left rear door has a broad inward dent with sharp creases, while the adjacent left rear quarter panel shows pronounced vertical creasing and deformation near the rear wheel opening. Light-colored scraping and paint abrasion are visible across both damaged areas. Repair should include assessment of the door and quarter-panel structure, panel alignment, paintwork, and the area around the rear wheel opening. Inside the cabin, the light-colored upholstery on the driver’s seat outer bolster is moderately cracked and peeling, with a substantial section of surface material missing. The front center armrest also has multiple cracks and worn areas. According to the provided VIN decoding, this is a 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class sedan, specifically a CLA250 4MATIC, with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, and direct tire-pressure monitoring. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Kecskemét, Germany. Some factory specification fields were not available in the decoding data.
