2021 MERCEDES-BENZ E 350 E350

The auction lists the primary damage as Front End. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment supports this classification, identifying front-end collision damage including missing bumper and headlamp assemblies, a missing grille, hood and fender deformation, and detached damaged front-end components. The front bumper cover and associated fascia are missing, exposing the radiator, bumper reinforcement components, wiring, and other front-end hardware. Both headlight assemblies are absent, leaving open lamp cavities and visible mounting areas. The center grille and surrounding trim are also missing, exposing the radiator and condenser assembly. The hood has a buckled and irregular front edge, deformation at both front corners, and uneven gaps around the front fascia openings. Both visible front fenders show moderate deformation and scraping around the wheel arches and leading edges. The detached bumper assembly and additional front-end panels shown separately have scuffing, abrasion, broken plastic sections, damaged edges, and separated mounting points. The hood emblem is missing, leaving a circular opening in the hood. According to the VIN decoding, this is a 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E350 sedan with a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder gasoline engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Germany. The decoded data identifies standard systems including ABS, stability control, traction control, forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and a rear visibility system; the operational condition of these systems cannot be determined from the provided findings. Official NHTSA recall records list several campaigns applicable to this model and year. These include a fuel-pump recall that may cause loss of drive power, software recalls affecting the emergency-call system, recalls involving rearview-camera display or communication-module operation, and a side-impact sensor recall that may affect air-bag and seat-belt activation. The applicable remedies involve dealer inspection, component replacement, or software updates, generally free of charge. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz before purchase. A complete repair assessment should include inspection of the front structural components, cooling system, wiring, lighting and driver-assistance systems, suspension and steering, air-bag system, and vehicle electronics. The provided findings do not establish the condition of these components or whether the vehicle is mechanically operational.
