2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA GLA250-4M

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification, based on extensive deformation and breakage affecting the hood, front bumper, grille, left headlamp, and left front fender. The salvage certificate status itself could not be confirmed from the photographs. The front hood has severe deformation and creasing across the front and left side. Its front edge is raised and separated from the surrounding fascia. The front bumper cover and lower fascia are severely broken, detached, and displaced, with hanging sections, open gaps, and exposed components behind them. The upper fascia and grille surround are also separated and displaced. The grille assembly has broken sections and irregular openings, particularly on the left side. The left front headlamp area contains visibly fragmented lens or housing material and an open gap around the lamp assembly. The leading portion of the left front fender and adjacent wheel-arch edge have moderate folding, sharp creases, and broken or displaced edges. The Mercedes-Benz emblem is missing from the grille, with a detached emblem visible on the ground. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class GLA250-4M Sport Utility Vehicle with all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an engine output listed as 208 horsepower. It was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Rastatt, Germany. The transmission type was not provided in the decode. The documented findings are concentrated at the front of the vehicle. A complete inspection should verify the condition of underlying structural components, cooling and mechanical systems, lighting, sensors, airbag and restraint systems, steering and suspension components, and the extent of required repairs before purchase.
