2015 MERCEDES-BENZ CLS CLS400

The auction record describes the vehicle as “DIS/DLR/EXP ONLY CLEAN TITLE” and lists “MECHANICAL” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the stated condition description is not supported as a damage-free presentation because the photos show visible front-bumper separation, rear-quarter damage, rear-bumper scuffing, and extensive exterior finish deterioration. The reported mechanical damage cannot be confirmed from the photos and requires a physical inspection. The front lower bumper trim is separated at the center and left corner, with a loose section extending downward, abrasion, and broken-looking edges. Additional scuffing and discoloration are visible on the front bumper. The right rear quarter panel has an irregular dent and abrasion around the wheel arch and tail-lamp area. The rear bumper and lower rear fascia also show multiple scuff marks and light-colored surface transfer. There is widespread clear-coat deterioration. The hood has large irregular areas of peeling or deteriorated finish, while the trunk lid shows numerous faded or peeling areas with broad lighter patches. Similar finish deterioration is visible on the roof and upper body panels. Inside, the driver’s seat leather has extensive cracking and wear along the outer bolster and front cushion edge. The steering-wheel covering and center armrests show additional wear, cracking, and loss of surface finish.
