2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA GLA250-4M

The vehicle is listed with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE OF TITLE and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the FRONT END classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The hood has pronounced deformation and creasing along its leading edge. Its contour is uneven, with an irregular gap above the grille and headlights. The driver airbag is visibly deployed from the steering wheel, and the driver-side knee airbag is also extended from the lower dashboard. These restraint-system deployments indicate that the airbag system requires inspection, diagnostic testing, and restoration before the vehicle can be considered road-ready. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class SUV, specifically the GLA250-4M trim. It is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine (M260), a seven-speed automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The vehicle was manufactured in Rastatt, Germany. The decoded data does not specify the drivetrain beyond the trim designation.
