2022 MERCEDES-BENZ GLB 250 4MATIC

The vehicle is listed by the auction as salvage, with “Right Front” identified as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the right-front primary-damage claim: the front-end damage, missing components, exposed wiring, and detached drive-axle assembly are concentrated in that area. Stage 1 also reports that the extensive missing and separated components support the stated salvage condition. The front end has sustained severe collision-related damage. The front bumper assembly, both front headlamp assemblies, the front grille, and both front fenders are missing. The front cooling-module area is open, and the radiator/fan assembly is not installed in its vehicle position. A bumper assembly, lamp assemblies, and cooling-module assembly with an electric fan are reported separated from the vehicle and placed on the ground. Multiple wiring harnesses, electrical connectors, and cable ends are exposed or hanging around the front bumper and right-front corner. The right-front drive axle/CV-joint assembly is visibly separated and hanging below the suspension area. The exposed front mechanical, electrical, cooling, suspension, and mounting areas require comprehensive inspection for additional damage before repair or operation. The findings do not confirm the condition of components that are not described. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class GLB 250/GLB 250 4MATIC SUV with all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in Mexico. One NHTSA recall is listed for this vehicle model and year. Recall 26V481000 concerns the driver’s door-lock microswitch, which may corrode and fail to detect an open door, potentially preventing automatic engagement of the electronic parking brake or Auto-Park feature and increasing the risk of rollaway. The listed remedy is replacement of the driver’s door lock by a dealer at no cost; owner notification is expected to begin September 18, 2026. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA before purchase.
