2025 MERCEDES-BENZ E 450 4MATIC

The auction record lists the vehicle condition as “Clear” and the primary damage as “Biohazard.” However, Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence contradicts the “Clear” condition designation because the vehicle has substantial front-end collision damage and a severely shattered windshield. Stage 1 also notes that the visible stains and debris do not, by themselves, confirm a biohazard condition. The vehicle is a 2025 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 450 4MATIC sedan, identified by VIN W1KLF6BB8SA120189. Factory data lists all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder gasoline engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in Germany. The front end shows extensive damage on both sides. The front bumper cover is torn, displaced, and detached at the left and right corners, with large sections hanging away from the vehicle. The cover has extensive scuffing, scraping, paint abrasion, and paint transfer. Plastic brackets, wiring, and other internal components are exposed behind the bumper. The front fenders are deformed near the bumper, headlamp, and wheel-arch areas; the right fender has a pronounced dent and crease with additional scraped paint. Large uneven gaps are visible between the hood, headlamps, grille, and bumper assembly. The windshield is severely shattered, with extensive spiderweb cracking, missing or displaced glass, and jagged broken edges, particularly across the upper and passenger-side areas. Broken glass fragments are visible on the front passenger seat, in the passenger footwell, and on nearby interior surfaces. The passenger-side mirror housing and glass are absent, leaving the internal mirror assembly and wiring exposed. Brown-red discoloration and other irregular stains are visible on the light-colored front passenger seat cushion, side bolster, and lower seatback. Similar stains and small dark marks are visible on the rear seat cushion. Interior debris is also present in the rear seating and floor areas. These observations do not establish the source or nature of the stains. The documented damage indicates a vehicle requiring substantial collision-related repairs, including inspection of the front structure, exposed components, lighting and safety systems, windshield area, mirror assembly, and interior. A complete physical inspection and verification of mechanical, electrical, restraint, and driver-assistance-system operation are recommended before purchase.
