2024 MERCEDES-BENZ GLB 250 4MATIC

The auction record identifies the primary damage as “Front End.” Stage 1 reports that the visible hood deformation supports front-end damage; however, the most extensive visible damage is the severely shattered windshield. No clear damage to the front bumper or headlamps is visible in the provided findings. The front windshield has extensive spiderweb cracking, multiple impact areas, and fractured glass across the upper and central sections. The engine hood has broad, irregular depressions and creases across the central and right-side areas, including additional deformation near the front edge. Windshield replacement and hood repair or replacement should be expected, with further inspection required to determine whether any less-visible components were affected. The VIN decodes as a 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class GLB 250 4MATIC SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline M260 engine, and an eight-speed automated manual transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in Mexico. A listed NHTSA recall, campaign 26V481000, concerns the driver’s door-lock microswitch on certain 2020–2026 Mercedes-Benz GLA/GLB vehicles. The defect may prevent the electronic parking brake or Auto-Park feature from engaging automatically, creating a potential rollaway risk. The stated remedy is replacement of the driver’s door lock at no charge. The recall record indicates that owner notifications are expected to begin on September 18, 2026; the VIN-specific completion status is not provided.
