2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA 45 AMG-4M

The auction record lists the vehicle’s condition as “Certificate of Title” and identifies the primary damage as “SIDE.” Stage 1’s photo-based assessment states that the visible severe damage on the vehicle’s left side supports the “SIDE” damage code; it also notes that certificate-of-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA has extensive collision damage concentrated on the left side. The left front door is severely crushed, with deep deformation, sharp creasing, displaced outer-panel surfaces, and damage around the exterior handle and window opening. The left front side mirror assembly is missing, and the door window glass is not present. The left rear door has broad dents and pronounced creasing, while the left front fender is crushed and irregularly deformed around the rear edge and wheel arch. A white side curtain airbag is visibly deployed and hanging from the left roofline across the side-window area. Repairs will therefore require substantial bodywork and replacement of missing components, glass, and restraint-system parts. The supplied findings do not confirm the condition of the vehicle’s mechanical systems, chassis, or underlying structural components. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class wagon, trim listed as 45 AMG-4M, manufactured in Germany. It has a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine. The decode also lists front airbags, side airbags for the first and second rows, curtain airbags, and seat-belt pretensioners with load limiters.
