2025 MERCEDES-BENZ GLB 250 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as rear damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, with extensive damage concentrated at the right rear corner, including the quarter panel, tail lamp, bumper, and wheel-arch trim. The right rear quarter panel is severely creased and deformed around the tail lamp and wheel arch, with chipped paint and an irregular opening at the rear corner. The right rear tail-lamp assembly is cracked and displaced, with broken housing sections and internal components exposed. The right rear bumper cover is severely torn, cracked, scuffed, and pulled away from the body, leaving open gaps at the corner. The lower right bumper garnish is broken and separated, and the outer wheel-arch trim is missing, leaving mounting holes and fasteners exposed. Additional scuffing, scraping, and paint-transfer marks are visible across the lower liftgate and rear bumper. Multiple detached plastic and trim components are reported on the ground behind the vehicle, including bumper or sill pieces, wheel-arch trim, and interior or cargo-area trim. The steering-wheel center component is also missing, with wiring exposed around the steering column. The condition and operation of the associated restraint and steering-wheel systems should be verified before the vehicle is driven. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 4MATIC, an all-wheel-drive SUV equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine and an eight-speed automated manual transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in Mexico. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this model range. Recall 24V780000 concerns possible sidewall damage to the right-side front and rear tires, which may cause sudden loss of tire pressure; dealers are to inspect and replace the tires as necessary. Recall 26V481000 concerns corrosion-related failure of the driver’s door-lock microswitch, which may prevent automatic engagement of the electronic parking brake or Auto-Park function and create a rollaway risk. The listed notification date for this recall is September 18, 2026, and VIN-specific eligibility should be confirmed with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA. A complete inspection should include the body structure, rear lighting, bumper mounting points, wheel-arch area, wiring, steering-wheel and restraint systems, tires, and all related electronic systems.
