2014 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA CLA250

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage vehicle title, with “FRONT END” identified as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated front-end damage claim because the front bumper cover and integrated grille assembly are missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement, radiator/condenser area, and surrounding mounting components. Stage 1 also notes that the salvage-title status cannot be verified from exterior photographs alone. The removed front bumper cover is shown separately and has multiple linear scuff marks and abrasions on its painted outer surfaces and lower edge. Several light scuff marks are also visible on the lower left corner of the rear bumper cover. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class CLA250 sedan, manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Hungary. The decoded specifications include a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine and direct tire-pressure monitoring. Drive type, transmission details, and other equipment information were not provided by the decoder. The decoder also notes that some information may vary for non-U.S.-market vehicles. The documented front-end damage will require inspection of the exposed structural, cooling, mounting, and related components, as well as assessment of the detached bumper cover and grille assembly before repair costs and roadworthiness can be determined.
