2020 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA CLA250-4M

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a SALVAGE TITLE CERTIFICATE, with FRONT END identified as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the stated FRONT END classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The vehicle shows extensive collision damage. At the front, the hood is heavily dented, creased, raised, and uneven. The front bumper cover is cracked, torn, displaced, and missing sections, with internal components exposed. The grille is broken and displaced, and the lower bumper trim is detached, with additional loose material hanging from the bumper. The front-right corner has torn bumper material, deformed panel edges, and open gaps around the headlamp area. With the hood open, broken and displaced components are visible around the upper front support and surrounding plastic structure. The passenger-side rear quarter panel is severely crushed and creased around the fuel-filler opening, with torn panel surfaces and a missing fuel-filler door. The passenger-side rear door also has a large irregular dent with multiple creases across its lower and middle sections. Inside the vehicle, the driver steering-wheel airbag and lower-dashboard/knee airbag are visibly deployed. The windshield has multiple branching cracks near its upper edge. The available findings document significant body, front-end, glass, and restraint-system damage. Mechanical, structural, electrical, and safety-system operation were not established by these findings and would require a thorough physical inspection and repair assessment before purchase.
