2016 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA CLA250-4M

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title, with “REAR END” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive rear-corner damage supports the auction’s unverified rear-end damage claim. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The rear bumper cover is severely torn, deformed, scraped, and crushed at the visible rear corners. It has extensive black and gray abrasion marks, open gaps, torn edges, and missing sections exposing darker material beneath. The rear tail lamps in the damaged areas are severely broken, with cracked or shattered lenses, missing sections, displaced components, and exposed internal areas. The adjacent rear quarter-panel area has multiple dark scratches and linear abrasion marks near the tail lamp and bumper junction. There are also minor dark scuff marks on the lower right portion of the front bumper near the license-plate mounting area and lower grille. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class sedan, trim designation CLA250-4M, equipped with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Hungary. The VIN decode does not provide confirmed drivetrain or transmission details. A physical inspection is recommended to assess damage behind the bumper and lamps, the condition of the quarter-panel and mounting structures, lighting operation, and overall roadworthiness.
