2016 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA CLA250

The auction record lists a **SALVAGE TITLE CERTIFICATE** and **REAR END** as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive rear-end collision damage supports the unverified “REAR END” classification; however, the salvage title certificate cannot be confirmed from photographs. The vehicle has severe damage across the rear structure and exterior body panels. The left rear quarter panel is extensively deformed, torn, and missing outer material around the rear lamp, bumper, and wheel-arch areas. The right rear quarter panel is also deformed, with an open damaged area around the rear lamp and bumper junction. The rear bumper cover is missing across the rear and at both corners, exposing the bumper reinforcement and internal mounting components. Both rear tail-lamp assemblies are absent, leaving open lamp cavities. The trunk lid’s lower edge and the rear body panel around the license-plate area show pronounced creasing and deformation. The left rear door exterior handle is missing, leaving an exposed recessed opening and visible internal mounting area. Inside the vehicle, the steering-wheel rim shows minor surface wear and loss of its outer finish along the upper and left portions. The available findings do not document the condition of the mechanical, structural, electrical, safety-restraint, or underbody systems. A physical inspection and assessment of missing and exposed rear components will be required before repair or purchase decisions. Recall status was not checked.
