2023 MERCEDES-BENZ GLB 250 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as rear damage. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment supports this claim, with extensive damage concentrated at the right rear quarter panel, tail-lamp area, and rear bumper. The right rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area are severely deformed, with torn body-panel edges and exposed internal components around the rear lamp and bumper junction. The right rear bumper is displaced, extensively cracked and torn, and has large openings, missing sections, heavy scraping, and separated lower material. The lower bumper trim is detached and hanging beneath the vehicle, while the area surrounding the right rear tail lamp is broken and incomplete, leaving light components exposed. A removed section of the rear bumper cover is also shown separately; it has extensive cracks, damaged mounting edges, missing material, and heavy surface scraping. The VIN decodes as a 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 4MATIC SUV with all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automated manual transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz in Mexico. NHTSA recall campaign 26V481000 lists certain 2020–2026 Mercedes-Benz GLA/GLB vehicles for a possible driver’s-door-lock microswitch failure that could prevent automatic engagement of the electronic parking brake or Auto-Park function, creating a potential rollaway risk. The recall information provided does not establish whether this specific VIN is included. The reported remedy is replacement of the driver’s door lock, subject to campaign eligibility and availability. A thorough inspection and verification of the recall status, structural repairs, lighting components, bumper mounting points, and related systems are recommended before purchase.
