2018 MERCEDES-BENZ E 300 4MATIC

The vehicle is listed with a salvage condition and an auction primary-damage code of “Right Front.” However, the photo assessment identifies severe collision damage concentrated at the front-left/driver-side corner. It also states that this contradicts the auction’s Right Front classification and that the salvage title status cannot be verified from exterior photographs. The front-left fender is extensively crushed and torn around the wheel arch, with portions of the outer panel missing and inner wheel-well components exposed. The front-left edge of the hood is deformed, and the gap between the hood, fender, and headlamp area is irregular. The front-left bumper cover is severely torn, crushed, and displaced, with a large open section exposing components behind it. The front-left headlamp assembly is also severely damaged and displaced. The surrounding lower material and mounting areas appear broken or missing. Wheel-arch liner and adjacent trim are missing, leaving the tire and inner wheel-well components exposed. The front-left corner has additional torn and deformed bumper and fender panels, open gaps, and missing panel material. The lower front-left bumper intake has an open section with missing or broken trim. The extent of the visible damage means that the condition of the underlying mounting points, suspension, steering, cooling system, wiring, safety systems, and other components cannot be determined from these findings. A comprehensive physical inspection and diagnostic assessment would be required before estimating the full repair scope. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan, E300-4M trim, built in Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder M274 engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and 18-inch wheels. The decoded data indicates that the vehicle is left-hand drive; the drivetrain information is not specified in the available decode. Five NHTSA recalls are listed for this make, model, and year. They concern the emergency-call communication software, the starter-battery positive-terminal cover, a steering-rack locknut on applicable rear-wheel-drive vehicles, front seat-belt buckle detection and pretensioner operation, and possible deactivation of the eCall system. Recall applicability and completion for this specific vehicle should be confirmed with Mercedes-Benz using the VIN before purchase or road use.
