2018 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA CLA250-4M

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class is listed with a salvage title, and the auction’s primary damage designation is “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that the rear-end designation is partially supported by visible damage to the left rear quarter panel and bumper; however, the most extensive visible damage is concentrated at the front end and right side. The front bumper cover and grille are missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement, radiator, condenser, and mounting areas. Front-corner panels are broken or absent, the right front headlamp assembly is missing, and the right front fender and wheel-arch area are heavily crushed and torn. The hood has creasing and an uneven front-edge contour. The right front door is missing, leaving the interior, wiring, and side structure exposed. The right front side and rocker panel show extensive crushing and tearing, including exposed metal and a detached lower structural or trim piece. The right rear door is dented, creased, and scraped. At the rear, the left quarter panel is deeply crushed around the wheel opening and bumper area. The left rear bumper corner has extensive crushing, cracking, scraping, and displacement, with lower trim separated in places. Additional scuffing and deformation are present along the lower left rear door and rocker area. The driver airbag and lower dashboard airbag are deployed. A small tear is visible in the outer surface of the driver’s seat cushion. The deployed restraint systems, missing door, and crushed rocker and side structure require comprehensive structural, airbag, seat-belt, wiring, and safety-system inspection before the vehicle can be considered roadworthy. Mechanical, cooling-system, suspension, steering, wheel-well, and alignment components should also be checked; their condition cannot be established from the supplied findings. According to the VIN decode, this is a left-hand-drive Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class four-door sedan with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and a seven-speed automated manual transmission. It was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Hungary. Overall, the vehicle has extensive collision damage affecting multiple body sections and safety systems and should be assessed as a major-repair project.
