2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA 250 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as front-end damage. The visible evidence supports this claim: the front bumper, grille, and both headlamp assemblies are missing, with front-end components and wiring exposed. The front bumper cover is absent, leaving the reinforcement, radiator assembly, wiring, and other internal components exposed. The grille and related trim are also missing. Both front headlamp assemblies are absent, and the mounting areas and wiring are visible at the front corners. The bumper-side fascia and other corner components are missing on both sides. Several front-end parts, including bumper-related trim, grille pieces, a headlamp assembly, and other fascia components, are detached and laid out in front of the vehicle. Electrical wiring and connectors are visibly exposed and hanging, particularly on the vehicle-left side as pictured. The images do not establish the condition of the underlying radiator, reinforcement, cooling system, electrical system, or other mechanical and structural components. A detailed physical inspection and diagnostic testing will be required before repair costs or roadworthiness can be assessed. The hood has multiple small paint chips and light surface scratches, including a larger scratched area near the front-center section.
