2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA GLA250-4M

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate indicating less than 75% damage, with the auction’s primary damage designation recorded as “STRIPPED.” These are auction classifications and should be treated as unverified claims. The available photographs support extensive visible collision damage and multiple missing exterior components, but they do not establish the claimed damage percentage of less than 75%. The observed condition is not consistent with a vehicle that is merely stripped, although some parts are visibly missing. The front bumper cover and central grille assembly are absent, leaving the radiator, cooling stack, brackets, wiring, reservoir, and other front-end components exposed. Both front headlamp assemblies are missing, with empty housings and mounting areas visible. The rear of the vehicle has severe deformation across the hatch and rear body panel, including crushed and deeply creased sheet metal at both rear corners. The left and right rear quarter areas are visibly crushed and folded around the tail-lamp openings and liftgate edges. The rear liftgate window and rear bumper cover are missing. Both rear lamp assemblies are absent or broken, exposing their cavities, mounting points, and internal components. The driver steering-wheel airbag and front passenger dashboard airbag are deployed. Additional curtain-airbag fabric is hanging along the passenger-side roofline and across the rear passenger compartment. Further inspection and replacement of the complete restraint system would be required. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class SUV, specifically identified as a gasoline GLA250-4M with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder M260 engine and seven-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz AG in Rastatt, Germany. The decode identifies left-hand drive, five seats, two seating rows, 18-inch wheels, and standard systems including ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, blind-spot monitoring, and a rear visibility system. The drivetrain field was not provided in the decode, although the trim is listed as GLA250-4M. The visible damage is extensive and affects the front and rear body assemblies, lighting, glazing, exposed front-end components, and occupant-restraint systems. A complete physical inspection is necessary to determine the condition of the underlying structure, cooling system, wiring, suspension, drivetrain, and other components not confirmed by the provided findings.
