2023 MERCEDES-BENZ E 350 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as front and rear. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment supports this claim: the front bumper, grille, and both headlamp assemblies are missing, while the rear bumper cover and outer tail lamps are missing, with visible deformation to the trunk lid and rear body panel. At the front, the complete bumper cover is absent, exposing the radiator, condenser, mounting components, and wiring. Both headlamp assemblies are missing, as are the front grille and related trim. The removed front bumper assembly is shown detached and positioned on the ground in front of the vehicle. At the rear, the bumper cover is missing across the vehicle, including the right rear corner, exposing the rear body panel, exhaust components, mounting areas, and internal components. The outer tail lamps are missing on both rear quarter-panel sides, although the inner trunk-mounted lamps remain visible. The lower center of the trunk lid has a broad inward dent and crease, and the rear body panel below it shows horizontal inward deformation and uneven central creasing. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2023 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E350 4MATIC sedan with all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and production in Germany. NHTSA records list three recalls applicable to certain vehicles of this make, model, and year: two fuel-pump recalls involving possible loss of drive power, and one software recall affecting the blind-spot/exit-warning system. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz before purchase. The documented findings concern visible collision damage and missing exterior components. No conclusion about hidden structural, mechanical, electrical, restraint-system, or calibration damage can be made from these findings alone.
