2020 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA GLA250-4M

The auction record identifies this vehicle as having a salvage title, with “REAR END” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the rear-end damage classification because the rear liftgate, bumper, and left rear lamp area show extensive damage. However, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The most significant damage is concentrated at the left rear corner and across the rear of the vehicle. The left rear lamp assembly is missing, leaving the lamp cavity and mounting areas exposed. The left rear quarter panel and rear bumper corner are extensively crushed and torn, with broken edges and exposed sections. The liftgate has deep dents, creases, and irregular deformation across the lower and central areas, including around the license-plate bracket. The rear bumper is heavily crushed and torn, with sections of the bumper cover missing and internal components visible. Additional damage is visible on the front bumper. The left corner has multiple dark scrape marks, paint transfer, and gouged areas below the headlamp and beside the fog lamp. A thorough physical inspection is recommended, including checks of the rear body structure, liftgate alignment and operation, bumper mounting points, lamp wiring, exposed components, and any damage behind the visible panels.
