2018 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA GLA250

Auction records list the vehicle as having a salvage vehicle title with “REAR END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible missing and deformed rear bumper components support the stated rear-end damage claim; however, a salvage vehicle title cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The primary damage is concentrated at the rear. The rear bumper cover and corner fascia sections are missing on both sides, exposing the bowed and uneven bumper reinforcement, mounting structures, lower body components, and wiring. Multiple detached bumper fascia and internal components are lying on the ground, with wiring still attached. The lower liftgate panel around the license-plate recess has visible creasing and deformation. A wiring harness and connector are hanging below the exposed rear bumper structure. The rear bumper assembly and associated wiring should be physically inspected before repair or operation to identify any additional damage not visible in the provided findings. A minor cosmetic abrasion and scuffing are present on the center-console armrest. The VIN identifies this vehicle as a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class GLA250 sport utility vehicle, built in Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder engine rated at 208 horsepower and a seven-speed automated manual transmission. The decoded data also lists front airbags, side airbags for the first and second rows, curtain airbags, seat-belt pretensioners and load limiters, and direct tire-pressure monitoring.
