2016 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA CLA250

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA is listed by the auction with a salvage title designation and “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. These are auction-provided records. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end damage supports the stated front-end classification, while the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front end has extensive collision damage. The hood is severely deformed, with multiple sharp creases and a large uneven opening above the engine compartment. The left front fender and wheel-arch area are crushed and folded, with torn and displaced edges around the wheel. The left headlamp assembly is missing, leaving wiring and internal front-end components exposed. The front bumper cover is broken, detached, and hanging away from the vehicle, with several bumper and underbody plastic pieces displaced. The grille is broken and missing sections, and the Mercedes emblem is detached and hanging below the grille. The lower portion of the windshield has several visible crack lines and impact-like fractures. Light scratches and scuff marks are present on the lower rear bumper. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class CLA250 sedan, manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Hungary. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine. The decode identifies front driver and passenger airbags, side airbags for the first and second rows, curtain-airbag information, seat-belt pretensioners and load limiters, electronic stability-related equipment, and direct tire-pressure monitoring. Drive type and transmission details were not provided. The extent of the visible front-end damage means that the condition of the underlying structure, cooling system, suspension, steering, restraints, wiring, and other mechanical and safety systems requires thorough physical inspection before repair or operation.
