2018 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA GLA250-4M

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title and identifies the primary damage as “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that visible damage at the rear-left corner supports the unverified rear-end damage claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The left rear quarter panel is severely crushed and creased around the wheel arch. Body material is torn and displaced, with components behind the panel exposed. The left rear bumper corner is also severely damaged: the bumper cover is torn and displaced, a large section is missing, and internal components are visible. Wiring and mounting components are exposed at the left rear corner. The left side of the rear bumper assembly is separated from the body, with a loose section hanging below the bumper. A long black exterior trim or bumper component, along with additional broken plastic pieces, is shown lying on the ground beside the vehicle. A thorough inspection should assess structural and suspension components in the affected rear-left area, as well as the exposed wiring and internal mounting points. The extent of required repairs and any hidden damage cannot be determined from the supplied findings alone. NHTSA recall status was not checked.
