2014 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA CLA250

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate designation of “over 75% damage,” with “rear end” recorded as the primary damage. These are auction classifications. The visible evidence supports the rear-end damage code through substantial damage to the rear bumper, right rear lamp area, and right rear quarter panel; however, the provided photos do not establish that more than 75% of the vehicle is damaged. The rear bumper cover is missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement, mounting points, and internal components. The metal around the right rear lamp opening and quarter-panel corner is visibly creased and deformed. The right rear lamp assembly is also missing, and the opening is covered with blue tape. The exposed reinforcement and mounting structures will require inspection for possible additional damage. At the front, one bumper corner is separated from the surrounding bumper surface, leaving an open gap and exposing the area behind it. A circular opening also indicates that a bumper trim or cover piece is missing. There is minor paint loss along the front edge of the hood. The findings indicate substantial rear-end collision damage, along with additional front bumper damage and minor hood paint damage. A complete assessment should include inspection of the underlying body structure, bumper mounting points, lighting system, wiring, and any components concealed behind the damaged areas.
