2016 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA CLA250

The auction records list the vehicle as having a “BONDED TITLE - SALVAGE” condition and “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end collision damage supports the stated FRONT END classification; however, the bonded salvage title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front end has extensive collision damage. The hood is severely crumpled, with pronounced creases and folds across the front and center sections, and its front edge is distorted and raised above the fascia. The front bumper cover is missing from the vehicle, exposing components behind the front fascia. The removed bumper cover is present separately and has extensive scuffing, scraped paint, dirt abrasion, and damage to its edges and grille-opening areas. The center grille is broken and displaced, with separated sections, broken plastic edges, and an open area around the emblem. The lower grille and surrounding black trim are detached and hanging forward, with multiple broken mounting points. Front corner bumper and fascia trim is missing, leaving exposed components, detached plastic pieces, and irregular broken edges. Repairs should include a thorough inspection of the underlying front-end structure, cooling components, lighting, sensors, wiring, and mounting points before estimating the full repair scope; these items are not confirmed by the provided findings. The interior shows moderate wear on the outer bolster of the front driver’s seat, where the upholstery is peeled or worn through and exposes a light-colored underlying layer. The steering-wheel rim has surface wear and loss of its original texture, and the center-console armrest has several horizontal abrasion marks.
