2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA 250 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as Front End. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim: the front bumper cover, grille, headlamp assemblies, windshield, and other front-end components are visibly missing. The front bumper cover is absent, exposing the bumper reinforcement, cooling components, brackets, and wiring. Both front headlamp assemblies and the front grille with surrounding fascia are missing, leaving the radiator and front support components exposed. The front-left wheel-arch liner and adjacent trim are also absent. The windshield is missing, leaving the opening exposed, and the exterior side mirror assembly is missing from its mounting area. One tail-lamp assembly is missing from the left rear corner. Numerous paint chips, scratches, and surface scuffs are present on the hood, front fender, front door, and A-pillar. The visible findings indicate extensive collision-related parts loss, but they do not establish the condition of concealed structural, mechanical, electrical, restraint, or cooling-system components. A thorough physical inspection and diagnostic assessment will be required before repair or road use.
