2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLB 250 GLB250

The auction lists the primary damage as “Right Side.” However, Stage 1 reports that the visible damage is concentrated on the left side, including both left-side doors and the left side mirror, and that the photographs do not support the auction’s Right Side classification. The vehicle has severe collision damage to both left-side doors. The outer panels are extensively crushed and creased, with deep depressions, scraped paint, and displaced panel edges. The lower left rear door has a torn opening with sharply deformed metal and exposed inner material. The left front door is deeply crushed through its middle and lower sections. The adjacent lower door and rocker-area trim are also extensively scraped and deformed. The left exterior mirror housing is broken and displaced, with internal components visible. At the front, the left bumper corner cover and lower trim are separated or displaced, leaving open gaps and exposed darker trim. The left front wheel-arch trim is missing, with mounting holes and unfinished edges visible. A left-side curtain airbag is visibly deployed, and the instrument cluster shows an illuminated red airbag warning indicator. The restraint system and associated impact sensors require professional inspection and repair before the vehicle can be considered safe to operate. The condition of the door structures, latches, hinges, wiring, and any underlying body or chassis components should also be verified through a physical inspection. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class GLB 250 SUV with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline M260 four-cylinder engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in Mexico.
