2018 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA CLA250

The vehicle is recorded by the auction as having a Certificate of Destruction and WATER/FLOOD as the primary damage classification. These are auction claims and should not be treated as independently confirmed damage findings. Stage 1’s photo review found that the available exterior, interior, engine-bay, and dashboard images do not visibly support the WATER/FLOOD or Certificate of Destruction claims. No consistent exterior tide line, interior water staining, mud or silt residue, mold-like discoloration, or visible corrosion was observed. No flood-related damage was visibly confirmed in the provided photos. The instrument cluster is illuminated and displays normally, although several warning indicators are also illuminated. The VIN decodes the vehicle as a 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class CLA250 sedan, manufactured in Kecskemét, Hungary. It is equipped with a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder gasoline M270 engine with turbocharging and direct fuel injection, producing a decoded 208 hp, paired with a seven-speed automated manual transmission. The vehicle has left-hand drive, seating for five, and 17-inch wheels. Factory-decoded safety and driver-assistance equipment includes ABS, electronic stability and traction control, daytime running lights, rear visibility monitoring, dynamic brake support, and front and side airbag systems. Some additional features, including adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane keeping, keyless ignition, and parking assistance, are listed as optional. Because the supplied findings contain no confirmed physical damage description and the photographs do not visibly confirm flood-related damage, a comprehensive physical inspection remains important. Particular attention should be given to the illuminated warning indicators, electrical systems, control modules, wiring, drivetrain operation, and any areas that cannot be assessed from the available images.
