2022 MERCEDES-BENZ CLS 450 COUPE 4MATIC

The vehicle is a 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLS 450 Coupe. The auction’s primary damage designation is “Front End.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this designation because lower front bumper components are detached or missing, with internal front-end components exposed. Visible damage includes a missing left exterior mirror assembly, leaving the mounting area and internal components exposed. The left front fender has a pronounced crease and dent extending from the area behind the mirror toward the wheel arch, along with paint scuffing. The lower section of the left front door has multiple dark abrasions and localized deformation. At the front, a large lower bumper component is detached and lying on the ground. The lower front bumper, grille, and air-intake trim are missing, leaving internal cooling components visible. The extent of damage to components behind the visible areas should be assessed during a physical inspection. The instrument display shows the warning: “Coolant Too Hot Stop Vehicle Turn Engine Off.” This confirms that a cooling-system overheating warning was present, but it does not establish the underlying cause. The vehicle should not be operated until the cooling system and any damage to related components have been professionally inspected. According to the VIN decode, this vehicle is an all-wheel-drive Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class with a 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder gasoline engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and a German production origin. The VIN data lists the body class as a coupe and the manufacturer trim as E450 4MATIC. Standard safety equipment shown in the decode includes ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, front collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, rear automatic emergency braking, and a rear visibility system. Presence or operation of these systems should be verified after repair.
