2022 MERCEDES-BENZ GLB 250 GLB250

The auction record lists the vehicle’s condition as “Clear” and identifies “Front End” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence contradicts the “Clear” condition designation: front-end components are missing and detached, while the missing headlamp and front trim support the stated “Front End” damage code. The front-left headlamp assembly is absent, leaving an open cavity with internal components visible. Wheel-arch molding is missing on both the front-left and front-right sides, exposing mounting holes and the edges of the wheel arches. A black trim or underbody component is hanging below the lower front-left bumper area. Multiple detached black exterior components, including front-end trim pieces and a lamp housing, are visible on the ground beside the vehicle. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class GLB 250 SUV with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline M260 engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in Mexico. The decoded equipment includes LED low-beam headlamps, front and rear side-curtain airbags, front and second-row side airbags, ABS, stability control, traction control, forward collision warning, and a rear visibility system. One NHTSA recall is listed for certain 2020–2026 Mercedes-Benz GLA/GLB vehicles under campaign 26V481000. The driver’s door-lock microswitch may corrode and fail to detect an open door, potentially preventing automatic engagement of the electronic parking brake or Auto-Park feature and creating a rollaway risk. The stated remedy is replacement of the driver’s door lock at no charge. Recall applicability and completion should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA.
