2017 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE FWD

The vehicle is listed with a “CERT OF SALVAGE > 75% DAMAGE” condition and “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1’s assessment supports the front-end damage claim, citing substantial damage to the front bumper, fender, and front wheel area. However, the available photos do not establish that the vehicle has more than 75% damage, so that portion of the auction claim cannot be confirmed from the visible evidence. The front right fender is severely crushed and sharply deformed around the headlamp and wheel opening. The front bumper cover is fractured, detached, and hanging forward and downward, with broken sections and exposed space behind the bumper across the center and right side. The front right wheel and tire assembly is visibly displaced. The tire appears distorted, and the alloy wheel has substantial visible surface damage. These findings indicate that the front wheel-area damage should be inspected carefully for possible damage to related suspension, steering, braking, or structural components; no such mechanical or structural damage is confirmed by the provided findings. The left rear door side window glass is missing, leaving the interior exposed. The upper window surround and adjacent rear side panel also have a pronounced horizontal crease, localized deformation, disrupted contours, and damage to the paint surface. A complete physical inspection and repair-cost assessment are recommended before purchase.
