2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA 250 GLA250

The auction records list the vehicle as having a salvage condition and identify “Left Side” as the primary damage classification. These are auction designations rather than independently verified conclusions. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe collision damage is concentrated at the left-front side and corner, supporting the stated “Left Side” classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photos alone. The most significant damage is concentrated at the left-front corner. The bumper cover is severely torn, displaced, and open in places, with wiring and internal mounting components exposed. The left-front headlamp assembly is missing, leaving an open cavity. The left-front fender is heavily crushed and folded around the wheel arch, with displaced or broken wheel-arch trim and liner sections. The left edge of the hood is raised, creased, uneven, and scuffed. The lower bumper and fog-lamp surround are cracked, separated, and displaced from the adjacent body panels. The visible findings do not establish the condition of the frame, suspension, steering, cooling system, airbag system, or other components that may require inspection after this type of impact. A “Malfunction See Operator’s Manual” message and an illuminated check-engine symbol are displayed in the instrument cluster. The available findings do not identify the cause or confirm whether the vehicle starts or drives. The front passenger seat cushion also has a small dark puncture or hole. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250, identified as a front-wheel-drive SUV with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline M270 engine, turbocharging, and a seven-speed automated manual transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Germany. The decode lists standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, and front and side airbag systems, but it does not confirm their current operating condition. Official recalls listed for this 2019 GLA 250 include several communication-system recalls involving the emergency-call function: campaigns 21V058000 and 22V365000 concern communication-module software, while 21V072000 concerns possible deactivation of the communication module during service. Campaigns 21V197000 and 23V854000 concern bonding of the front roof panel on vehicles equipped with a panoramic sunroof; the latter is an expansion of the former. Campaign 21V961000 concerns a possible fuel-rail and injector leak that could increase fire risk. Recall completion should be verified with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer using the vehicle identification number before purchase or road use. Given the severe front-left collision damage and the displayed malfunction warning, a comprehensive physical inspection and diagnostic scan are strongly recommended.
