2023 MERCEDES-BENZ E 350 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as rear damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, including severe rear-quarter deformation and a missing rear bumper cover. The rear quarter panel adjacent to the wheel is heavily crushed, creased, and torn, with missing paint and exposed inner body components, wiring, and metal. The wheel-arch area is also severely damaged, with extensive scraping and exposed darker underlayers. The rear bumper cover and associated corner trim are missing, leaving the bumper reinforcement, brackets, mounting hardware, wiring, and exhaust-related components exposed and, in places, displaced. The lower rear body and bumper-mounting areas show severe deformation, open gaps, damaged mounting points, and displaced sheet metal. Areas beneath and beside the rear lamps are open, with surrounding bumper and trim components missing and brackets exposed. The trunk-lid edge at the damaged corner is raised and irregular, with an enlarged, uneven gap adjoining the quarter panel. Based on the listed findings, this vehicle requires substantial rear-end collision repair. The condition of concealed structural components, suspension, exhaust, wiring, sensors, and other mechanical or safety systems cannot be determined from these findings and should be verified through a thorough physical inspection and diagnostic scan. NHTSA data identifies this vehicle as a 2023 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E350 4MATIC sedan, built in Germany, with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder engine and all-wheel drive. The VIN is W1KZF8EB8PB176670. Three recall campaigns are listed for the 2023 E-Class model range. Campaigns 23V445000 and 23V880000 concern a fuel-pump shutdown that may cause loss of drive power; the latter is an expansion of the former. Campaign 23V574000 concerns software that may prevent the blind-spot exit-warning system from providing its audio and visual alerts. Recall completion status for this specific vehicle was not provided, so it should be verified with Mercedes-Benz using the VIN.
