2018 MERCEDES-BENZ E 300 E300

The auction lists the primary damage as “Right Rear.” Stage 1 reports that visible evidence supports this claim: the right rear quarter panel is substantially deformed, with missing bumper material. Stage 1 also notes significant additional front-end damage. The vehicle has severe collision damage at both ends. At the front, the bumper cover and sections of the lower fascia are missing, exposing the grille support, reinforcement area, brackets, wiring, headlamp mounting area, and other internal components. Several lower components are detached and hanging below the grille. The detached white bumper cover shown separately has broken or separated lower trim and multiple abrasion marks. The visible front fender is severely crushed and deformed above and behind the wheel, with extensive abrasion and black paint transfer extending toward the headlamp area. At the rear, the right rear quarter panel and wheel-opening area are heavily deformed, with torn and irregular panel edges, scraped paint, exposed inner components, and damage behind the wheel. The right rear bumper corner is missing or extensively broken, with a loose section below the tail lamp and internal mounting components exposed. The findings describe visible body and collision damage only. The condition of the vehicle’s mechanical systems, suspension, steering, cooling system, electrical systems, airbags, sensors, and underlying structural components is not established and requires a thorough physical inspection. The vehicle should not be assumed to be roadworthy or complete without confirming the required repairs and system operation. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E300 sedan, built in Germany, with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder engine and nine-speed automatic transmission. The decoded information identifies the vehicle as left-hand drive; drivetrain information was not provided. NHTSA records list recalls applicable to the 2018 E300 concerning the eCall communication module, the starter-battery positive-pole cover, the steering rack on relevant rear-wheel-drive vehicles, front seat-belt buckle detection and pretensioner operation, and possible deactivation of the eCall function. Recall completion should be verified with Mercedes-Benz using the VIN before purchase.
