2018 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA CLA250-4M

The vehicle is listed with a “CERT OF SALVAGE > 75% DAMAGE” condition and a “REAR END” primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the rear-end classification; however, the exterior photos alone do not establish the claimed greater-than-75-percent damage threshold. The rear bumper assembly is missing across the full width of the vehicle, exposing the bumper reinforcement bar, mounting structures, internal components, and wiring. Both rear quarter panels are damaged: the left side has creasing and deformation near the taillight, wheel arch, and bumper opening, while the right side is severely crushed and creased around the taillight, fuel-filler area, wheel arch, and bumper attachment point. The left rear lower body and bumper-mounting area also show deformation. The right-side fuel-filler door and right rear passenger-door handle are missing, leaving their mounting areas exposed. Light paint scuffs are visible on the right rear door and quarter panel. Inside, the center armrest and portions of the front leather seats show surface wear and abrasion. A thorough physical inspection is recommended, particularly of the exposed bumper components, wiring, rear body structure, and bumper mounting areas, before repair or purchase decisions are made.
