2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA GLA250

This 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction’s primary-damage code is “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the unverified “FRONT END” code. The salvage certificate status itself cannot be confirmed from the photos. The front end has severe collision damage. The front fender on the left side of the image is extensively crushed, with sharp creases, torn edges, and displaced material around the wheel opening. The front bumper is torn and displaced, with a large opening and exposed components near the front corner. The headlamp assembly in the same area is broken or missing outer components, exposing internal parts. The hood has moderate deformation, including visible creasing, a raised uneven front edge, and a large irregular gap above the grille and headlamp area. The lower front fascia is severely damaged: the bumper and corner are torn and displaced, a circular lamp opening is exposed, surrounding trim is broken or missing, and a lower panel is hanging below the bumper. The windshield has multiple branching cracks across the upper and central areas. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag and passenger-side dashboard airbag are visibly deployed. These findings indicate that substantial repair and replacement work will be required, including assessment of the front-end structure and safety systems by a qualified technician.
