2014 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA CLA250

The auction records list the vehicle as “CERT OF SALVAGE < 75% DAMAGE” with “SIDE” as the primary damage classification. These are auction designations and should not be treated as independently verified facts. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the SIDE designation, based on extensive damage to the left-side doors, rocker panel, and left front corner. Stage 1 also states that the photographs cannot confirm the claimed damage threshold of less than 75%. The main damage is concentrated along the left side and left front corner. Both the left front and rear doors have broad overlapping dents and creases, horizontal scraping, and dark paint transfer. The lower and middle sections of the doors are visibly deformed. The painted left rocker panel below the doors has extensive scuffing and abrasion, and the rear portion of the left front fender has additional scraping and transfer marks. The left front bumper corner has severe visible damage, including extensive abrasion, cracked and separated fascia, an open gap, and a loose or displaced black trim component. The lower intake or trim area is partially absent or displaced, with a black piece hanging below the bumper. The left headlamp lens and surrounding area show pronounced abrasion and scuffing, particularly along the lower and outer portions. The left-center section of the rear bumper has several light horizontal scuff marks. Inside the vehicle, a small torn or missing section of upholstery is visible on the outer lower bolster of the driver’s seat. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class CLA250 sedan, manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Kecskemét, Hungary. The vehicle is identified with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine and direct tire-pressure monitoring. The VIN decode does not provide drivetrain or transmission details. A professional inspection should assess the structural areas behind the damaged panels, bumper mounting points, headlamp and lighting operation, door operation and alignment, rocker-panel condition, suspension and steering components, and any related safety-system damage before purchase or repair.
