2024 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA

The auction record lists the vehicle with a **SALVAGE CERTIFICATE** and identifies the primary damage as **SIDE**. These are auction designations and are not independently verified here. Stage 1’s photo assessment found that the visible extensive damage on the right side supports the SIDE classification; however, the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The documented damage is concentrated along the lower right side of the vehicle. The lower outer section of the right front door is severely torn and partially missing, with jagged edges and exposed inner door and adjacent body components. The right rocker panel/side sill below the doors is severely crushed, torn, and missing exterior material, exposing underlying metal and components. The lower section of the right rear door has a large dent, crease, and scraped, irregular surfaces extending toward the damaged sill area. Because the rocker panel and side sill are extensively deformed and exposed, the condition of the underlying structure, mounting points, and related components requires a thorough physical inspection. The provided findings do not confirm the condition of the vehicle’s mechanical systems, safety systems, interior, or alignment. VIN data identifies this vehicle as a 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class GLA250 4MATIC SUV, built in Germany. It is equipped with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 221 hp, and an eight-speed automated manual transmission.
