2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA 250 4MATIC

The vehicle is listed by the auction with a Salvage condition and “Left Side” as the primary damage classification. The visible damage to the left lower rocker and side-skirt area supports the stated Left Side classification. However, the Salvage title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The left lower rocker panel and lower front-door edge show extensive scraping, chipped white paint, and irregular broken-looking material. The rocker/side-skirt trim is absent or damaged, and multiple long black trim pieces are detached and lying beside the vehicle. A loose section also extends below the rocker near the front door. The condition of the underlying rocker structure, door alignment, mounting points, and adjacent components requires a physical inspection. No other damage findings were provided. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class GLA 250 4MATIC, a gasoline-powered SUV with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and all-wheel drive. The vehicle was manufactured in Germany. NHTSA records show recalls associated with this model and year, including recalls involving the emergency-call communication system, the driver’s air-bag grounding system, and the bonding of the front roof panel on vehicles equipped with a panoramic sunroof. Recall completion status for this vehicle is not provided and should be verified with Mercedes-Benz using the VIN before purchase.
