2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E E300-4M

The vehicle is a 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan, identified by VIN WDDZF4KB2HA077444. NHTSA decoding indicates the E300-4M trim with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The vehicle was manufactured in Germany. The auction record lists a salvage certificate of title and identifies “front end” as the primary damage. However, Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence does not support this primary-damage claim; the provided photos show no clear front-end collision damage, only minor cosmetic surface scuffing. The documented exterior damage consists of light scuffing and localized discoloration on the lower front bumper, including the lower front-left corner. Several additional light surface marks are visible on the lower bumper sections, with no cracking or missing bumper material reported. Inside, the brown leather on the front driver’s seat has localized light-colored abrasion and surface discoloration on the outer bolster and adjacent cushion. These are minor cosmetic defects. No other damage findings or known failure-pattern concerns were provided. A physical inspection is recommended, particularly because the vehicle carries a salvage title and the auction damage classification was not supported by the visible evidence.
