2023 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA CLA250 4MATIC

The auction record lists the vehicle as a salvage-title vehicle with FRONT END as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated front-end damage claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The 2023 Mercedes-Benz CLA has extensive damage concentrated at the driver-side front corner. The front bumper, grille, and lower fascia are heavily broken, displaced, torn, and partially missing, with internal components exposed. The driver-side front fender is severely deformed around the wheel arch, and the front headlamp assembly is missing. The driver-side front edge of the hood is creased and deformed, while the grille emblem is absent. The driver-side front tire appears deflated and compressed against the ground. The windshield has extensive spiderweb cracking across the upper and central driver-side area, including a visible impact point. Both side-curtain airbags are deployed and hanging along the side windows. The vehicle should be considered non-roadworthy until the structural, steering, suspension, wheel, braking, restraint, electrical, and safety-system components have been professionally inspected and repaired. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2023 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class sedan, CLA250 4MATIC trim, with all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and Mercedes-Benz M260 engine designation. It was manufactured in Hungary.
