2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA 250 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as Left Side. Stage 1’s photo review supports this classification, with significant denting, creasing, and scuffing visible on the left-side doors. The left rear door has a broad horizontal dent with multiple sharp creases extending toward the rear wheel-arch area. White scuffing and scraped paint are present along the lower section. The left front door also has several horizontal scratches and light-colored scuff marks across its lower and middle sections. In addition, the horizontal trim strip on the upper rear bumper is separated from the bumper in places, exposing dark mounting points and leaving an uneven lower edge. These findings indicate that body repairs, refinishing, and replacement or reattachment of the affected trim may be required. The condition of the underlying door structure, wheel-arch area, bumper mounts, and internal components should be confirmed during a physical inspection. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class GLA 250-4M with all-wheel drive. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine rated at 208 horsepower and was manufactured in Rastatt, Germany. The transmission type was not provided.
