2020 MERCEDES-BENZ GLB 250 GLB250

The auction lists the primary damage as **Front End**. Stage 1 assessed that the visible evidence supports this classification: the front bumper, grille, passenger-side headlamp, lower valance, and related fascia components are missing or detached, and the hood is visibly deformed. The hood has pronounced raised and creased areas across its front section, with an irregular leading edge above the exposed front assembly. The front bumper cover and grille/fascia trim are absent, exposing the bumper reinforcement, cooling components, mounting structures, and wiring. The passenger-side headlamp is missing, leaving its mounting area exposed. The lower front valance and undertray are separated and hanging downward, with broken and displaced plastic sections. The front passenger-side wheel-arch trim is also missing, exposing mounting points and inner components. Detached bumper, grille, trim, and lamp components are present beside the vehicle. Factory data identifies this vehicle as a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB250, VIN W1N4M4GB5LW034031. It is a front-wheel-drive SUV equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder engine, an eight-speed automated manual transmission, and 18-inch wheels. The vehicle was manufactured in Mexico. NHTSA records list recalls involving the communication module and emergency-call system, rearview-camera or multimedia software, LED headlamp adjustment, and the fuel rail and injectors. The records also include a later recall concerning the driver’s door-lock microswitch and automatic parking-brake or Auto-Park operation. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA before purchase. The extent of damage to the exposed cooling system, wiring, lighting system, mounting structures, safety systems, and other components cannot be determined from the supplied findings and should be checked during a complete physical inspection.
