2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA 250

The vehicle is a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class GLA250, identified by VIN decoding as a gasoline-powered SUV with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. It was manufactured in Germany. The auction’s stated primary damage is “Right Side.” However, Stage 1’s assessment reports that the visible damage is concentrated at the front-left corner and along the left-side doors and rocker area in the available views, and that the visible evidence does not support the auction’s right-side damage classification. The most significant damage is at the front-left corner. The left front bumper cover is severely cracked, torn, displaced, and partially separated, with exposed inner areas and damaged or missing sections around the corner and lower intake. The left front fender and wheel-arch area are crushed and torn, and the black wheel-arch trim is displaced. The lower bumper trim is also cracked and separated. The hood is severely deformed. Its front edge and left side are raised and bent upward, with broad, uneven gaps above the grille and headlights. The hood does not sit flush with the surrounding panels. The left headlight area has uneven panel gaps and displaced surrounding bumper and fender material; the lens surface was not visibly shattered in the available view. Additional left-side damage includes multiple horizontal dents, deep scrapes, paint transfer, and deformation across the left front door, extending into the lower door edge and rocker-panel area. The lower left rear door has lighter scuffing and paint discoloration. The lower center section of the rear bumper also has a scrape and localized denting. The extent of the front-end deformation suggests that repairs may involve multiple exterior panels, bumper components, trim, and potentially underlying mounting or structural parts. Mechanical, electrical, safety-system, alignment, and structural condition cannot be determined from the provided findings and should be verified through a comprehensive physical inspection before purchase.
