2020 MERCEDES-BENZ GLB 250 GLB250

The auction lists the primary damage as “Right Side.” However, Stage 1’s photo-based assessment states that this claim is not supported by the visible evidence: the extensive body damage and deployed curtain airbag are on the vehicle’s left side. The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 has severe collision damage affecting both visible left-side doors. The left front door is deeply dented and deformed near its rear edge and lower section. The left rear door has multiple large creases, scraped areas, and exposed lighter-colored material. The lower cladding and rocker-side trim beneath both doors show longitudinal scraping, white paint transfer, creasing, and deformation. A curtain airbag is visibly deployed and hanging from the headliner and roof edge above the open left front door. A red airbag warning symbol is illuminated in the instrument cluster. The restraint system will require thorough inspection and repair, including diagnosis of the airbag and related safety-system components. Factory VIN data identifies this vehicle as a front-wheel-drive GLB-Class SUV built with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, eight-speed automated manual transmission, and four-cylinder M260 engine. The VIN data lists a five-seat, four-door vehicle manufactured in Mexico. NHTSA records list recalls associated with this model and model year involving the emergency-call communication system, rearview-camera display or multimedia software, LED headlight adjustment, the fuel rail and injectors, and the driver’s door-lock microswitch. The listed remedies include software updates or replacement of affected components, where applicable. Recall completion and applicability to this specific VIN should be confirmed with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer before purchase.
