2021 MERCEDES-BENZ E 350 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as rear damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification because the rear bumper cover is missing and rear components are exposed. Extensive collision damage is also visible on the left-side front and rear doors. The rear bumper cover is absent across the vehicle’s width, exposing the bumper structure, mounting areas, and lower heat-shielded components. A detached bumper cover is also reported, with broken or torn upper corner and mounting sections and irregularly missing sections along the side attachments. The visible left-side front and rear door panels are severely crushed and deeply creased, with inward deformation, extensive paint scuffing, and exposed material near the door junction. The condition indicates substantial collision damage and will require a detailed physical inspection to assess the underlying structure, hinges, intrusion protection, wiring, sensors, and other components before repair. The VIN decodes the vehicle as a 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan, E350-4M trim, built in Germany. It is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The decoded data identifies the vehicle as a passenger sedan; drivetrain information is not separately confirmed in the available NHTSA decode, although the trim is listed as E350-4M. NHTSA recall records provided for this model and year include recalls involving the fuel pump, emergency-call communication software, rearview-camera or multimedia software, and side-impact crash sensors. The buyer should have a Mercedes-Benz dealer verify the VIN-specific applicability and confirm that all recall repairs have been completed, particularly the side-impact sensor recall given the visible side-door damage.
