2019 MERCEDES-BENZ E 300 E300

The auction record lists the vehicle’s condition as “Clear” and its primary damage as “Rear.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the rear-damage classification: both rear tail lamps are missing and rear body-panel damage is visible. Stage 1 also reports that the visible rear damage contradicts the “Clear” condition designation. The documented damage is concentrated at the rear. Both the left and right rear tail-lamp assemblies are absent, leaving the lamp cavities exposed, with blue tape visible inside. The body-panel edge around the right rear tail-lamp opening has an irregular folded contour and visible deformation. The lower trunk lid has a broad, shallow dent and an uneven contour below the license-plate mounting area. Multiple light horizontal scuffs and scratches are present across the painted rear bumper cover. The vehicle decodes as a 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E300 sedan, VIN WDDZF4JB8KA573017. It is specified with rear-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in Germany. NHTSA records list several recalls applicable to this make, model, and year, including software issues affecting the emergency-call communication module (campaigns 21V058000, 22V365000, and 21V072000), a radar-sensor software issue that may impair Active Brake Assist (19V540000), front seat-belt buckle detection and pretensioner concerns (19V788000), a possible fuel-rail or injector leak (21V961000), and a rearview-camera display software issue (22V232000). Recall repairs should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer; completion status is not established by the provided information. The rear lighting, trunk lid, quarter-panel structure, bumper cover, wiring, mounting points, sensors, and related safety systems should be physically inspected before purchase. The missing lamps and deformed body-panel edges will require repair or replacement, and the vehicle should not be operated on public roads until the required rear lighting and safety-related repairs have been completed.
