2018 MERCEDES-BENZ E E 400-4M

The auction record lists a salvage certificate with damage exceeding 75% and identifies the primary damage as front-end damage. Stage 1 reports that the provided photos show substantial visible front-end damage consistent with this classification, while also showing substantial rear-end damage. Stage 1 further notes that the photos alone do not establish whether the total damage exceeds 75%. The front end is severely incomplete. The front bumper cover, both headlamp assemblies, and the grille are missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement, radiator area, wiring, front support, and lower front components. The left front fender is also absent, leaving the inner wheel well and adjacent components exposed. The rear bumper cover and both taillamp assemblies are missing. The rear bumper reinforcement and internal components are exposed, and detached lower plastic parts are visible beneath the rear body. The trunk lid and adjacent lower rear panel show visible creasing and deformation. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan, identified as an E 400-4M, with a 3.0-liter M276 gasoline engine, six cylinders, turbocharging, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in Germany. The decoded data does not specify the drivetrain in the available record, although the trim designation includes “4M.” The extent of the missing body and lighting components, together with the visible deformation at both ends, indicates that comprehensive structural, mechanical, electrical, cooling-system, restraint-system, and underbody inspections will be required before repair or purchase decisions are made.
