2021 MERCEDES-BENZ E 350 E350

The auction lists the primary damage as **Front End**. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this stated damage classification. The front end shows severe collision damage concentrated around the hood, grille, and bumper. The hood is heavily deformed across its front section, with deep folds, a distorted leading edge, an uneven raised profile, and large gaps above the headlights and grille. The front grille is broken, with missing mesh and an open centre section exposing components behind it. The front bumper cover is torn, cracked, and broken on the left side and across the centre, with separated portions, large gaps, and exposed internal components. A rectangular component is also hanging loose within the centre bumper opening. The extent of the visible damage indicates that substantial repair or replacement work will be required. The findings describe exterior damage only and do not establish the condition of hidden structural, cooling, electrical, sensor, restraint, or mechanical components. A thorough physical inspection and diagnostic assessment are recommended before purchase. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E350 sedan, built in Germany, with a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. NHTSA records list recalls affecting the 2021 E-Class, including possible fuel-pump shutdown resulting in loss of drive power; communication-module software issues that may affect the emergency-call system; multimedia or rearview-camera software faults that may prevent the rearview image from displaying; and a side-impact sensor connector issue that could delay air-bag and seatbelt activation. Recall completion and applicability should be confirmed by VIN with Mercedes-Benz before the vehicle is operated.
