2023 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA GLA250 4MATIC

The vehicle is a 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class GLA 250 4MATIC, identified by VIN W1N4N4HBXPJ523927. Factory decoding identifies it as an all-wheel-drive SUV with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, an eight-speed automated manual transmission, and LED headlamps. It was manufactured in Germany. The auction records show a salvage certificate of title and list FRONT END as the primary damage. The visible front-end damage supports the stated FRONT END damage code. However, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The front bumper cover is severely cracked, torn, and partially missing, with open gaps exposing components behind it. The lower bumper trim is detached, and the bumper surface has extensive linear scraping and paint damage. The front corner and lower fascia are broken and displaced, with torn plastic and a detached trim piece hanging below the bumper. One front headlamp assembly is severely damaged: its lens and housing are cracked and broken, with missing sections and exposed internal components. The grille and emblem area also have visible gaps and missing pieces, including the absent central emblem. The front edge of the hood is raised above the grille, creating a wide and uneven gap. The driver airbag is visibly deployed from the steering wheel, and additional deployed airbag fabric is present in the lower driver-side dashboard and footwell area. The extent of the visible collision damage and deployed restraint systems indicates that comprehensive structural, mechanical, electrical, lighting, and supplemental-restraint-system inspections will be required before repair or road use.
