2022 MERCEDES-BENZ E 350 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as “Right Side.” Stage 1’s photo-based assessment supports this claim: substantial deformation is visible on the right front fender, both right-side doors, and the right rocker area, with additional damage at the front and rear. The vehicle has extensive collision damage. The windshield has a large spiderweb-pattern crack in the upper-left area, with multiple radiating fracture lines and an additional long crack across the glass. The hood is severely creased and deformed across the front and right side, with an uneven front-edge gap. The front right fender is heavily crushed around the wheel arch, with torn and displaced panel sections. The front right headlamp surround and internal components are damaged and displaced, and the lamp assembly is not seated normally. The front bumper cover and grille surround have cracks, deep abrasions, displaced sections, and open gaps. Lower bumper trim is also damaged and partially displaced. Both visible right-side doors have large horizontal dents and creases, particularly around the seams and lower sections. The right rocker panel and lower sill show pronounced scrapes, dents, and paint loss. At the rear, the bumper has extensive scuffing and paint loss, along with torn or displaced lower sections and an irregular opening near the lower-right area. Additional linear abrasions and paint removal are visible on the hood, front bumper, front fender, and lower right-side body panels. Factory decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 350 4MATIC sedan, built in Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. The decoded safety equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbag systems, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, rear automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and a rear visibility system. The condition findings do not establish the operational status of these systems or whether any structural, restraint-system, mechanical, or alignment damage is present. Two NHTSA recall records are listed for certain 2022 E-Class vehicles. Both concern the gasoline fuel pump, which may shut down and cause a loss of drive power, increasing crash risk. The stated remedy is free fuel-pump replacement by Mercedes-Benz dealers. Recall completion should be verified using the vehicle’s VIN and service records.
