2014 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA CLA250

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title and identifies the primary damage as “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the SIDE damage claim, based on extensive deformation of the left-side fender, front door, rear door, and rocker panel. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed or contradicted from the photographs alone. The 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class is identified by VIN decoding as a CLA250 sedan with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Kecskemét, Hungary. Drive type and transmission details were not provided by the decoder. The left front fender has pronounced inward deformation and multiple creases near the wheel arch and front-door seam. The left front door has severe outer-panel damage, including a large inward dent with sharp horizontal and diagonal creases across the middle and lower sections. The left rear door has broad inward dents and light-colored scuff marks. Crushing, creasing, and scraped paint are visible on the left rocker panel and lower sill area below the doors. The left side-curtain airbag is visibly deployed, with white fabric hanging along the roof-side area above the windows. A left front seat-mounted side airbag is also visibly deployed, with white fabric protruding from the outer seat seam. The lower cushion of the left front seat has minor surface scuffing and abrasion. The extent of the side structural-area and restraint-system damage requires thorough inspection and repair assessment before purchase, including verification of the doors, rocker area, airbag system, related sensors, and vehicle safety systems.
