2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA GLA250-4M

The auction record describes the vehicle as “severely accident damaged” and lists the primary damage as “SIDE.” Stage 1’s photo review found localized side/rear-quarter collision damage and front bumper abrasion, but did not support the description that the vehicle is severely accident damaged. The SIDE classification is partially supported by the visible rear-quarter damage. Visible damage includes a moderate scrape with dark paint transfer and loss of the white finish on the front bumper corner below the headlamp. Minor abrasion is also present along the lower front door edge and adjacent rocker-area trim. At the left rear wheel arch, the quarter panel has a distinct moderate scrape with paint loss and dark transfer marks. The left rear bumper corner shows additional minor scuffing and localized surface abrasion. A further minor scraped area is visible on the front bumper edge beside the headlamp. Based on the supplied findings, the damage appears localized to exterior body panels, bumpers, and trim. The findings do not provide information about hidden structural, suspension, wheel, mechanical, electrical, or safety-system damage, so these areas should be physically inspected before purchase and repair approval. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class SUV, specifically the GLA250-4M trim, with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder M260 engine and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The decoded vehicle has left-hand drive, 18-inch wheels, and was manufactured in Germany.
