2020 MERCEDES-BENZ GLB 250 GLB250

The auction lists the primary damage as “Front End.” Stage 1’s photo-based assessment reports that the visible evidence supports this classification. The front bumper cover and grille assembly are missing, exposing the metal bumper reinforcement, radiator and other cooling components, wiring, connectors, and internal front-end structures. Both front headlamp assemblies are also absent, with open mounting areas and wiring visible at both front corners. Electrical wiring and connectors are hanging below and beside the exposed reinforcement. Both front wheel-arch areas have missing outer fender-arch trim, leaving mounting holes, fastener locations, and unfinished panel edges exposed. The front corners behind the fenders are open, with internal brackets, mounting components, wiring, and a translucent fluid reservoir visible on one side. The supplied VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class GLB250 SUV with front-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automated manual transmission. It is listed with LED headlights, a rearview camera, adaptive cruise control, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, and a five-seat interior. The vehicle was manufactured in Mexico. The provided NHTSA recall records include recalls concerning the emergency-call communication module, rearview-camera or multimedia software, LED headlamp adjustment, and the fuel rail and injectors. A later-listed recall concerns the driver’s door-lock microswitch and possible automatic parking-brake or Auto-Park operation. Recall completion and applicability should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA before purchase. The absent headlamps and exposed front-end wiring and components require a full inspection and proper replacement before the vehicle can be considered road-ready. Damage or faults not visible in the supplied findings cannot be assessed.
