2020 MERCEDES-BENZ GLB 250 GLB250

The auction lists the vehicle’s primary damage as Front End. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim: the front bumper, grille, lower fascia, and one headlamp are missing, with exposed front-end components and detached parts visible. The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 has severe front-end collision damage. The painted front bumper cover, grille assembly, lower fascia, and associated black trim are absent or detached. The bumper reinforcement, radiator and condenser stack, support brackets, cooling modules, and front-end wiring are exposed. The metal reinforcement has multiple scratches and abrasion marks, while several plastic supports and fascia pieces appear broken, separated, or hanging. One headlamp assembly is missing from the right-front corner, leaving the internal components and wiring exposed. A detached headlamp assembly, additional bumper and grille trim pieces, and a scraped and deformed white body panel are visible on the ground. The hood has a crease and scraped area at the front-right section, together with an uneven raised gap along its front edge. The front-right wheel arch is missing its exterior flare and inner liner sections, exposing mounting hardware and the washer-fluid reservoir. The front-left wheel-arch flare is also absent, with fastener holes visible around the fender edge. A minor cosmetic issue is present at the rear: the silver lower bumper insert has dark scuff and abrasion marks. No other findings were provided. The supplied damage information does not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, cooling system, suspension, steering, airbags, sensors, wiring, or structural components. A comprehensive physical inspection and diagnostic scan are recommended before purchase, particularly because the front-end systems are extensively exposed and disassembled.
