2019 MERCEDES-BENZ E 450 E450

The auction lists the primary damage as **Left Rear**. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, with extensive damage visible around the left rear quarter panel, wheel arch, tail-lamp surround, and bumper cover. The left rear quarter panel is severely deformed from above the wheel arch toward the tail lamp. It has deep creasing, heavy scraping, exposed lighter-colored substrate, and an irregular wheel-arch edge. The wheel-arch liner and lower side trim or panel edges are separated, exposing dark inner material. The left rear bumper cover has a large irregular opening with missing material, extensive white scrape marks, and deformation near the wheel arch. A pronounced gap is also visible between the left rear tail-lamp area, quarter panel, and bumper, with dark mounting or inner trim exposed below the lamp. The provided findings document significant exterior collision damage concentrated at the left rear. They do not establish the condition of the underlying structure, suspension, wheel, tire, lighting, sensors, exhaust, convertible-top system, or mechanical components. A thorough physical inspection is recommended, including inspection behind the damaged panels and bumper, checking the rear body structure and wheel-arch area for displacement, and verifying alignment, tail-lamp mounting, wiring, parking or driver-assistance sensors, and wheel-and-tire condition. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E450 convertible/cabriolet with rear-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter turbocharged gasoline V6 engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in Germany. NHTSA records list several recalls associated with 2019 E450 and related Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
