2025 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA 250 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as Right Front. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, with the most extensive damage concentrated at the vehicle’s right front corner. The 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 has severe collision damage to the right front bumper cover and lower fascia. The bumper is crushed, torn, fractured, and partially separated, with missing material, detached pieces hanging toward the ground, and exposed internal components. The lower bumper and air-intake trim are also cracked and hanging, with loose wiring and connectors visible. The right front headlamp assembly is broken or missing, leaving the headlamp opening exposed. The surrounding grille trim and black fascia components are detached or missing. The front edge of the hood is raised and irregular on the right side, creating an uneven gap above the grille and bumper. The right front fender is creased and deformed, with extensive scraping and paint disruption around the wheel arch. The wheel-arch molding is separated from the body and has damaged or missing sections. The extent of the front-end deformation means that additional damage to mounting points, electrical components, safety systems, cooling components, or other areas cannot be determined from the supplied findings. A complete structural, mechanical, electrical, and diagnostic inspection is recommended before repair or purchase. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a Germany-built 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class SUV, trim GLA 250, equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, an eight-speed automated manual transmission, and approximately 221 horsepower. The decoded data lists standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, and parking assistance. One NHTSA recall is listed for applicable 2020–2026 Mercedes-Benz GLA/GLB vehicles. Recall 26V481000 concerns possible corrosion and failure of the driver’s door-lock microswitch, which may prevent automatic engagement of the electronic parking brake or Auto-Park feature and could result in vehicle rollaway. The listed remedy is replacement of the driver’s door lock by a dealer at no charge. The recall record states that owner notifications are expected from September 18, 2026, and that VIN-specific availability on NHTSA.gov is expected from July 31, 2026. Recall completion should be verified with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA before purchase.
