2018 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA GLA250-4M

The vehicle is a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA with a salvage title designation. The auction lists the primary damage as rear-end damage, an unverified auction claim. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, with substantial collision damage visible at the left rear quarter panel, tail lamp, and bumper. The left rear quarter panel is severely crushed and creased around the tail lamp and wheel-arch area, with irregular deformation. The left rear tail lamp assembly is severely damaged, with a shattered lens, missing lens material, and exposed internal components. The left rear bumper corner is torn and displaced, including a separated lower section and exposed components behind the cover. Moderate creasing and an irregular gap are also visible in the bodywork beside the left tail lamp and rear hatch opening. The extent of the visible rear-left damage indicates that repairs will likely involve body-panel, lighting, bumper, and rear bodywork components. Further physical inspection is required to assess any damage not visible in the provided findings, including structural, suspension, electrical, or mechanical condition.
