2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA 250 4MATIC

The auction record lists the vehicle as “Non-Repairable” with a primary damage code of “Right Front.” However, Stage 1 reports that the provided photos show substantial visible collision damage concentrated at the left front, including a missing left front fender and headlamp, together with severe hood and bumper damage. Stage 1 also states that the photos do not establish that the vehicle is non-repairable, so the auction condition designation cannot be confirmed from the visible evidence alone. The left front hood corner is severely creased and deformed, with extensive paint loss, a raised uneven edge, and a large irregular gap above the bumper and grille. The left front headlamp assembly is missing, leaving an open cavity with wiring and other internal components exposed. The left front bumper cover is severely cracked, fractured, and partially absent, with broken edges, open sections, and a loose lower portion. The left front fender is missing, exposing the wheel-well area, metal mounting structure, wiring, and other internal components. The wheel-arch liner and adjacent splash-shield plastics are moderately damaged, broken, displaced, and hanging away from the wheel well. The visible findings indicate a substantial collision repair requirement. Hidden damage to structural, suspension, steering, electrical, cooling, safety, or other mechanical components cannot be determined from these findings and should be assessed through a comprehensive physical inspection before purchase. According to the NHTSA VIN decode, this is a 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class GLA 250 SUV, identified with a 2.0-litre turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder engine, seven-speed automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The vehicle was manufactured in Germany. The decoded data does not specify the drivetrain. NHTSA recall records provided for this model and year include several communication-module and software recalls affecting emergency-call functionality, rearview-camera display or operation, and communication-module activation. A further recall concerns a possible driver’s-door-lock microswitch failure that may prevent automatic engagement of the electronic parking brake or Auto-Park feature and could result in vehicle rollaway; the supplied record lists owner notifications as expected in September 2026. Recall completion and applicability should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA before the vehicle is operated.
