2015 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA CLA250 4 MATIC

The vehicle is a 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA. The auction record lists a salvage certificate with damage stated as less than 75%, and identifies the primary damage as front-end damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the auction’s front-end damage classification; however, the photos do not establish the stated damage percentage or independently confirm the salvage-damage claim. The front bumper cover is missing, leaving the bumper reinforcement and front cooling components exposed. The center grille and surrounding front-fascia trim are also absent. At the front-left corner, the headlamp assembly is missing, with its mounting area and wiring visible. The front-left fender and leading edge of the wheel arch have pronounced creasing and deformation, while the front-left edge of the hood has an irregular, creased contour adjacent to the missing fascia. The vehicle requires a detailed physical inspection to assess concealed structural, cooling-system, electrical, suspension, and other mechanical damage, as well as to determine the full extent and cost of repairs.
