2020 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA GLA250-4M

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title designation, with “FRONT END” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1’s photo review found that the visible severe front-end collision damage supports the auction’s FRONT END classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior or interior photos. The front-left area is severely damaged. The hood has multiple deep creases and flattened sections, with the left-front portion folded upward and an open gap above the grille. The left front fender is crushed and sharply creased around the wheel arch, with torn and folded metal at the front corner. The left headlamp assembly is missing, leaving internal components and mounting points exposed. The left side of the front bumper and lower fascia is broken, partially absent, displaced, and hanging away from the vehicle. Brackets, wiring, and other front-end components are visible behind the damaged area. Several detached front-end parts are also visible on the ground beside the vehicle, including broken plastic panels, liner pieces, trim, and a lamp-related assembly. The full extent of damage to the underlying structure, cooling system, suspension, steering, safety systems, and electrical components cannot be determined from the provided findings and would require a thorough physical inspection. Inside the vehicle, the light-colored front seat cushion has a long tear or split near its inner side.
