2014 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA CLA250

The auction record lists a **salvage certificate** and identifies **SIDE** as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible side-body damage supports the SIDE classification; however, the salvage certificate status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The main damage is concentrated along the left side. The left front door has a broad dent across its lower and central sections, while the left rear door has several pronounced dents and creases. The left rear quarter panel is severely deformed around the wheel arch, with a large crease and scraped paint along the lower area. The left front door mirror is moderately damaged, with internal black components exposed and the painted outer cover displaced or missing. Additional damage includes scratches and abrasion on the left front fender near the wheel arch, scuffing on the left lower rocker panel, and scraping on the left lower front bumper. A narrow black piece or strip is hanging below the bumper edge. Several light scratches and surface marks are also present on the front portion of the hood. A thorough inspection should be carried out to assess the extent of repairs required, including the affected doors, quarter panel, wheel-arch area, mirror assembly, bumper, rocker panel, paintwork, and any related structural or mechanical components.
