2014 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA CLA250

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate and a FRONT END primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END claim, with extensive front-end damage clearly shown. Extensive rear-end damage is also visible. The salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The front bumper cover and grille assembly are missing, exposing the front reinforcement and cooling components. The hood is severely deformed across its front edge and both corners and is displaced above the front fascia. The front cooling stack, reinforcement, wiring, brackets, and plastic components are exposed, with several visibly displaced or detached. One headlamp assembly is missing, while the opposite headlamp is displaced. The front side corner and fender area also show exposed internal components, torn or displaced plastic, and deformation around the lamp area. The rear of the vehicle has substantial damage as well. The trunk lid is severely buckled and raised, leaving the rear opening exposed. The rear bumper is heavily crushed and torn, with displaced sections and exposed components below the opening. The body panel around the trunk opening is crushed and irregular, with substantial gaps and exposed internal areas. Both rear lamp areas show displacement and damage. The rear quarter panel and adjacent bumper area have creasing, deformation, paint loss, and irregular panel gaps. Additional underside damage is visible at the rear. The exhaust outlet and associated components are displaced, with detached or hanging parts, and a large black underbody panel is detached and hanging below the vehicle. Airbags are visibly deployed from the driver’s steering wheel and lower dashboard. Overall, the vehicle shows severe collision damage at both the front and rear, with damage extending to exterior panels, lighting, cooling and reinforcement components, wiring, the exhaust system, underbody panels, and the restraint system. The condition of hidden structural, mechanical, and electrical components cannot be determined from these findings alone and would require a detailed physical inspection.
