2017 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA CLA250-4M

The vehicle is listed with a salvage title and an auction primary-damage designation of “FRONT END.” However, the Stage 1 photo assessment reports that the hood, grille, headlights, and front bumper appear present and generally intact. It identifies only localized displacement of the lower front-side rocker/fender trim, stating that the “FRONT END” designation is only partially supported by the visible condition. The documented damage is concentrated near the front wheel and rocker-panel area. A black lower exterior trim piece is separated from the body, leaving an open gap, with part of the trim projecting downward. The lower side trim behind the front wheel is also displaced, and a section hangs below the rocker-panel line. The recorded severity is moderate. The affected trim and its mounting points should be physically inspected before repair or purchase. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2017 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class sedan, trim CLA250-4M, with a gasoline 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and a seven-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Kecskemét, Hungary. The decoded information does not specify a drivetrain in the available data. No mechanical, structural, or safety-system condition is established by these exterior findings alone.
