2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA GLA250

The auction record lists this 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA with a CERT OF TITLE–SALVAGE TITLE designation and FRONT END as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end damage supports the stated FRONT END primary-damage claim; however, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The vehicle has extensive damage across the front end. The complete front bumper and grille fascia is detached and lying in front of the vehicle, leaving the underlying components exposed. The hood is heavily creased and buckled, with a raised and uneven front edge. Both front corners are damaged: the right front fender and wheel-arch area are crushed and torn, while the left fender edge and bumper corner are deformed or missing. The right front tire shows extensive tearing and abrasion. The wheel-well liner and adjacent plastic components are detached and hanging. Both headlamp areas are open, with the headlamp assemblies not visible in their normal installed positions and wiring and other components exposed. The front reinforcement beam is bowed and has displaced mounting areas. The radiator and condenser areas show uneven, damaged fins and displaced surrounding components. The driver, front passenger, and side-curtain airbags are visibly deployed. The upper passenger-side windshield has a pronounced spiderweb-shaped crack. The extent of the visible collision damage indicates that a comprehensive repair and inspection of the front-end, safety, cooling, lighting, wheel-area, and related systems would be required.
