2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA 250 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as **Front End**. However, Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence does not support this as the primary damage area: the front bumper has moderate damage, while the most extensive damage is concentrated at the left rear quarter panel, rear bumper, and left rear tail lamp. The front lower bumper cover has white scuffing, localized deformation, and an uneven lower edge. The silver lower bumper trim is cracked or separated near the center-right area, with an open gap and displaced sections. The right-side fog-lamp surround and adjacent bumper material are also displaced, leaving a visible gap. The left rear area has severe collision damage. The quarter panel is deeply crushed and sharply creased around the wheel arch, fuel-filler area, and tail-lamp mounting area. Additional pronounced deformation is visible beside the left tail lamp. The left rear bumper corner is torn, heavily deformed, pulled away from the vehicle, and extensively scraped. The left tail-lamp assembly is hanging outward, with exposed mounting areas and visible wiring. Lower rear bumper trim is separated, exposing clips and an open section along the lower edge. White linear scuffing and localized deformation are present on the lower left-side front and rear door area, extending toward the rocker trim. The rocker trim is pulled away and uneven near the left rear wheel opening, with an open gap along its upper edge. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class GLA 250 4MATIC SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a seven-speed automated manual transmission.
