2022 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA GLA250 4MATIC

The auction record lists this 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLA as “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” with “REAR END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive rear-end damage supports the rear-end primary-damage claim, while the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The vehicle has severe damage concentrated across the rear. The rear liftgate window is missing, with jagged glass remnants around the opening and interior components visible inside. The liftgate outer panel is heavily crushed and deeply creased, particularly through the centre and lower sections, and its lower edge is distorted. The rear bumper cover is absent, exposing bumper components, mounting areas, mesh, and wiring. Loose components hang below the rear body. Both lower rear corners and their adjacent bumper mounting areas show crushing, torn edges, and irregular gaps. The right rear quarter panel is folded and crushed around the tail-lamp and wheel-arch area; the wheel-arch molding is displaced, with some sections missing or detached. The right rear corner also has buckled body metal, open gaps, exposed internal areas, and missing exterior trim. The VIN decode identifies the vehicle as a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class GLA250 4MATIC, an all-wheel-drive SUV equipped with a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz in Germany. A thorough physical inspection and repair assessment are required, including checks of the rear body, bumper mounting areas, wiring, lighting, glass-related components, and any concealed damage before purchase.
