2018 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA CLA250

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA is listed by the auction with a salvage-title condition and a primary damage code of “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible damage supports the auction’s front-end classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front bumper assembly has sustained severe damage. Large sections of the bumper cover and lower fascia are missing at both front corners, with internal components, wiring, mounting areas, and black internal panels exposed. Multiple lower bumper, air-deflector, and under-bumper pieces are missing or detached. The remaining bumper cover has an irregular lower edge and a prominent crack through the lower center-right area. The center grille mesh is broken and irregular, and its central emblem is missing. The front edge of the hood has an uneven contour with a crease or deformation near the center-left area. The driver’s seat also has a tear in the outer lower bolster, exposing light-colored underlying material. The vehicle decodes as a Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class CLA250 sedan with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, a seven-speed automated manual transmission, and left-hand drive. It was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Kecskemét, Hungary. Factory-listed equipment includes ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, direct tire-pressure monitoring, front and side airbags, pretensioner-equipped seat belts, and a standard rear-visibility system. Some decoded equipment information may vary for non-U.S.-market vehicles. Replacement of the missing front-end components and repair of the remaining bumper, grille, hood, mounting points, wiring, and related systems should be expected. A thorough physical inspection is recommended to check for concealed structural, cooling, lighting, restraint-system, and mechanical damage before purchase or road use.
