2022 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA CLA250-4M

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate with damage exceeding 75%, with “front end” identified as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end damage classification because the front bumper, grille, headlamps, left front fender, and related trim are missing or damaged. However, the photographs cannot confirm whether the total damage exceeds 75%. The 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA has extensive front-end damage. The front bumper cover, outer fascia, center grille, surrounding trim, and both headlamp assemblies are missing, leaving cooling components, wiring, mounting areas, and other internal structures exposed. The left front fender and its wheel-arch liner are also absent. The hood has a visibly uneven and deformed leading edge, including raised and folded areas at both front corners, while the right front fender has an irregular front edge and uneven opening around the missing lamp and bumper area. Multiple electrical wires and connectors are hanging externally near the left front fender and the front edge of the driver’s door. The exterior handle is missing from the left front door. Detached front trim and lower underbody panels are visible separately on the ground beside the vehicle. The VIN decodes the vehicle as a 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class sedan, trim designation CLA250-4M, manufactured in Kecskemét, Hungary. It is equipped with a gasoline 2.0-litre, four-cylinder M260 engine, listed at 221 horsepower, and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The decoded data identifies the vehicle as a passenger car and does not provide a confirmed drivetrain value. The extent of the visible damage indicates that substantial replacement parts, electrical work, structural inspection, and mechanical and safety-system checks will be required before the vehicle can be considered roadworthy. The condition of components not visible in the supplied findings, including cooling, suspension, steering, restraint, and other systems, remains undetermined.
