2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLB GLB250-4M

The vehicle is a 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class SUV, VIN W1N4M4HB6MW094982. The auction record lists a salvage certificate with “more than 75% damage” and identifies the primary damage as “rear end.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the rear-end damage code because the rear bumper assembly is missing and damage is visible at both rear corners. However, the photographs do not establish that the vehicle has more than 75% damage. The rear bumper cover and lower bumper trim are missing across the full width of the vehicle. This exposes the bumper reinforcement area, mounting brackets, and internal components. Both the left and right rear quarter panels are deformed around the wheel arches, with irregular panel edges, creasing, and exposed attachment points or fastener holes. Rear corner lamp components are also missing or detached. Openings and exposed mounting areas are visible at both lower rear corners, and two rear lamp assemblies have been removed from the vehicle and placed on the ground. The supplied findings do not confirm the condition of the underlying structure, wiring, sensors, or other components not visible in the documented areas. A thorough physical inspection will be required before repair or road-use decisions are made. Factory data identifies this vehicle as a gasoline-powered GLB250-4M with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder M260 engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It is listed as a five-seat, left-hand-drive SUV manufactured in Mexico. The VIN data lists 18-inch wheels, standard ABS, stability control, traction control, blind-spot monitoring, and a rear-visibility system; some other equipment is shown as optional.
