2025 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA 250 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as front-end damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification, with substantial damage to the front bumper, grille, front corner trim, and adjacent body panels. The front bumper assembly is severely damaged. The bumper cover is cracked, torn, displaced, and separated at both corners, with large openings exposing internal components and wiring. The main front grille insert and several lower bumper and grille trim sections are missing. The painted upper bumper has white abrasion and multiple deep linear scrape marks across the center and left side. Both front corners show significant damage. The right bumper corner is torn and hanging away from the vehicle, with deformation at the adjacent fender edge and separated panel gaps. The right lower bumper and fog-lamp surround are broken and displaced. On the left, the bumper corner is detached and hanging, with broken trim and exposed internal parts. The left headlamp assembly is separated from the surrounding bodywork, while the trim and bumper material around both headlamps are broken or absent. A wide, uneven gap is visible between the hood and the front fascia across the vehicle’s width. A minor cosmetic issue is noted inside the vehicle: light surface marks and scuffing on the glossy front center-console trim. Factory data identifies this vehicle as a 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class GLA 250 4MATIC SUV, built in Germany. It is equipped with all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automated manual transmission. One NHTSA recall is listed for certain 2020–2026 Mercedes-Benz GLA/GLB vehicles under campaign 26V481000. The recall 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 function and could allow vehicle rollaway. The stated remedy is replacement of the driver’s door lock at no charge. VIN-specific eligibility and remedy availability should be confirmed with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA.
