2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA GLA250

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA is recorded with a salvage certificate of title. The auction lists “FRONT END” as the primary damage, but Stage 1’s photo review found that the front bumper, grille, hood, and headlights appeared intact; therefore, the front-end damage claim was not supported by the visible exterior evidence. The salvage-title status could not be confirmed from the photos. A severe collision-related finding is recorded in the upper side roof/headliner area. Green curtain-airbag fabric is visibly hanging near the side window and A-pillar areas, indicating deployed curtain airbags. The condition of the complete supplemental restraint system, including associated sensors, modules, seat belts, and pretensioners, requires physical inspection and testing. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a Germany-built 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class GLA250 SUV with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, seven-speed automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive information not specified by the decoder. The vehicle is equipped with front, side, and curtain airbag systems, as well as seat-belt pretensioners and load limiters. Further structural and mechanical inspection is recommended before purchase.
