2025 MERCEDES-BENZ GLB 250 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as “Front & Rear.” Stage 1 assessed this claim as partially supported: visible damage is present on the left-front and left-rear sides, although no clear damage to the front or rear bumper is visible. The documented damage is concentrated along the vehicle’s left side. The left exterior mirror assembly is missing, with multiple wires hanging from the mirror mounting area. The left rear door has a large dent with several creases across the upper and middle panel, including deformation around the door handle and rear edge. A pronounced dent and crease are also present on the left rear quarter panel above and forward of the rear wheel arch. The left front door has dark and light paint scuffing around the mirror area and upper-middle surface. The left front fender has a shallow irregular crease with surface scuffing above and behind the front wheel arch. The VIN decodes as a 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 4MATIC, a gasoline-powered SUV with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, eight-speed automated manual transmission, and all-wheel drive. The vehicle was manufactured in Mexico. The provided recall records list campaign 24V780000 for possible sidewall damage to the right-side front and rear tires, which may cause sudden loss of tire pressure; the remedy is inspection and replacement of the tires as necessary. Campaign 26V481000 concerns possible corrosion and failure of the driver’s door-lock microswitch, potentially preventing automatic engagement of the electronic parking brake or Auto-Park feature; the listed remedy is replacement of the driver’s door lock. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA before purchase. Based on the documented findings, the vehicle requires replacement of the left exterior mirror assembly and repair or replacement assessment for the damaged left-side door, quarter panel, front fender, paint, and associated wiring. A physical inspection should also confirm the condition and operation of the affected door, mirror wiring, locks, and surrounding structural and safety systems.
