2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA GLA250-4M

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA is listed in the auction records with a “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” condition and a “FRONT END” primary-damage code. The visible missing and damaged front-end components support the auction’s unverified FRONT END classification. However, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front bumper cover and grille are missing, leaving the front reinforcement bar, radiator, cooling assemblies, and inner support components exposed. The right-front headlamp assembly is also absent, with wiring and mounting areas visible. Additional front-corner and lower-fascia plastics and trim are missing, exposing brackets and other internal components. The lower front air guides and undertray pieces appear to be missing or broken, with irregular plastic edges and exposed cooling components. Electrical wiring and connectors are exposed and hanging in the front-right engine-bay/front-fascia area. These findings indicate substantial front-end damage and will require replacement of the missing components, inspection of the exposed wiring and cooling systems, and evaluation of the underlying mounting and structural areas. No further mechanical, structural, or safety-system assessment is provided in the findings. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a Germany-built 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class GLA250-4M SUV with all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a listed output of 208 horsepower. The VIN is WDCTG4GB4GJ224491.
