2023 MERCEDES-BENZ E 450 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as Front End. Stage 1’s assessment supports this claim, noting substantial visible damage to the front-left hood, fender, bumper, fascia, and headlamp area. The front-left hood is severely crushed and sharply deformed, with deep creasing, scraped paint, and a raised irregular edge. The front-left fender is crushed and torn around the headlamp and wheel-arch area, exposing internal components. The front-left bumper cover and fascia are fractured, torn, displaced, and partially missing, with extensive white scuffing. The front-left headlamp assembly is missing, leaving an open cavity with wiring and other components exposed. The wheel-arch liner and adjacent trim are broken and partially absent. Additional visible cosmetic damage includes dark linear scuffing on the left front and rear doors, abrasion on the lower left rocker-panel and sill area, and multiple light scuffs across the rear bumper cover. The findings do not establish the condition of concealed structural, suspension, cooling, electrical, safety-system, or mechanical components; these areas require a thorough physical inspection and functional testing.
