2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E 300 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as rear damage. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment supports this claim, identifying severe trunk-lid deformation and extensive detachment and breakage of the rear bumper assembly. The rear bumper cover is broken and detached at multiple points, hanging away from the body with exposed wiring and internal components. Several bumper and trim pieces are detached and are shown separately on the ground. The lower center of the trunk lid is severely crushed and creased, with irregular gaps around the trunk opening. The right rear lamp assembly is displaced outward from its body opening, leaving a substantial gap. The front left bumper corner is also separated from the adjacent fender and headlamp area, exposing dark inner components and leaving an open gap. This damage is assessed as moderate in the supplied findings, while the rear bumper and trunk damage are assessed as severe. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan, E300-4M trim, equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Germany. The supplied findings do not establish the condition of the underlying structure, lighting systems, wiring, trunk operation, or mechanical components; these areas should be physically inspected before purchase and repair estimates are finalized.
