2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA 250 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as front-end damage. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment supports this claim, noting severe hood deformation, missing and damaged front bumper components, left-front fender damage, and damage around the headlamp area. The hood has multiple large creases and raised, irregular sections across the front half, particularly toward the left-front area, and its front edge is visibly uneven. Much of the lower front bumper cover is missing, exposing the lower grille and components behind it. The left-front bumper corner is torn and deformed, with extensive scuffing, split plastic, and open areas around the fog-lamp location. The silver lower bumper trim is displaced and hanging forward from exposed mounting points. The front portion of the left-front fender is severely creased and distorted near the headlamp and bumper opening. The left-front headlamp area shows moderate damage and separation along its upper outer edge, with surrounding scuffing. A white side-curtain airbag is visibly deployed and hanging along the upper side of the cabin. The findings indicate substantial collision damage; the condition of the underlying structure, cooling system, suspension, steering, wiring, restraint system, and other concealed components cannot be determined from these findings and should be physically inspected. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class GLA250-4M, an all-wheel-drive SUV with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, a seven-speed automated manual transmission, and a German production origin. The provided NHTSA recall records include campaigns concerning the emergency-call communication system, roof-panel bonding on vehicles equipped with a panoramic sunroof, and a possible fuel-rail or injector fuel leak. Recall applicability and completion should be confirmed by VIN through Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer before purchase, particularly given the deployed curtain airbag and the vehicle’s collision damage.
