2018 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA CLA250

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA is listed with a salvage certificate and FRONT END as the auction’s primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end collision damage supports the stated FRONT END code; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The vehicle has severe damage across the front end. The front bumper cover, grille, headlamp assemblies, and much of the front fascia are missing or broken, leaving the radiator, condenser, reinforcement beam, brackets, wiring, and other internal components exposed. The metal bumper reinforcement and upper radiator-support area are visibly bent and displaced. The radiator and lower cooling components show bent fins and displaced supports, while lower plastic panels and undertrays are broken, detached, or hanging below the vehicle. The hood is heavily deformed and raised above the front fenders. Both front fender and wheel-arch areas are damaged, with missing or damaged surrounding trim, and the front-left corner has extensive missing or broken body and plastic components. A dent and gray scuffing are also visible on the front-side door near the handle. Both the driver and front passenger airbags are deployed. Interior trim and fabric in the upper passenger-side dashboard and roof-edge area are separated or hanging from their normal positions. The upper-left portion of the windshield has multiple radiating cracks and impact marks. The extent of the visible collision damage indicates that the vehicle requires comprehensive structural, restraint-system, cooling-system, electrical, and mechanical inspection before purchase or repair assessment. Parts not visible in the provided findings may also require replacement or further evaluation.
