2019 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA CLA250-4M

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a “Certificate of Title” condition, with “SIDE” recorded as the primary damage. However, Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence shows extensive frontal collision damage and a dented left front door, rather than side damage as the primary visible damage. Stage 1 also notes that the title condition cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The vehicle is a 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class sedan, specifically decoded as a CLA250-4M with all-wheel drive. It has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, a seven-speed automated manual transmission, and was manufactured in Hungary. The front end has severe damage. The hood is extensively creased and deformed, with a raised front edge and uneven gaps. The front bumper cover, grille, headlamp assemblies, and surrounding fascia components are missing or broken. The exposed front cooling components, including the radiator and condenser area, should be carefully inspected. The front bumper reinforcement is visibly bowed and deformed, while multiple lower support, air-deflector, and plastic structural components are broken, detached, or hanging. Both front corners are affected. The front-left fender edge and wheel-well trim are broken or missing, with internal components exposed. The front-right wheel-well liner and adjacent trim are torn or broken. The removed red bumper cover also has broken mounting points, torn edges, and separated damaged sections. A broad dent with multiple creases is present across the left front door. Inside the vehicle, the side-curtain airbags are visibly deployed along the roof and side-window areas. The outer bolster of the visible front passenger seat has torn upholstery with the underlying light-colored material exposed. The extent of the visible frontal damage and deployed restraint systems indicates that substantial repairs and replacement parts will be required. The condition of hidden structural components, cooling-system components, wiring, sensors, suspension, steering, and other mechanical systems cannot be determined from these findings and should be verified through a comprehensive physical inspection before purchase.
