2025 MERCEDES-BENZ CLE AMG CLE53 4MATIC

The auction record lists the vehicle as **“CERT OF SALVAGE < 75% DAMAGE”** with **“FRONT END”** as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end damage code: the photographs show substantial front-end damage, but they do not establish or confirm the claimed damage extent of less than 75%. The visible damage is concentrated at the left front corner. The left front fender and headlamp assembly are missing, leaving the wheel well, wiring, brackets, mounting points, and other inner front-end components exposed. The left side of the front bumper and lower fascia are cracked, torn, displaced, and partially detached, with missing sections and exposed components. The left side of the grille surround and adjacent trim are broken and separated from the surrounding fascia. The left front edge of the hood also has a visible crease and irregular deformation. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLE coupe, specifically identified as an AMG CLE 53 4MATIC, with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder gasoline engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Germany. The reported damage appears substantial and will require comprehensive inspection and repair of the front body structure, lighting, bumper and grille assemblies, wiring, mounting components, and related systems. The findings do not confirm the condition of components that are not visible, including possible mechanical, suspension, steering, cooling, restraint, or electronic-system damage.
