2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E E300-4M

The auction record lists a salvage title and identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the auction’s FRONT END damage code; however, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. This 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan has extensive, severe collision damage concentrated at the front and along the left side. The hood is heavily crushed, buckled, and torn, while the front bumper, grille, fascia, and both headlamp assemblies are missing or extensively broken. The front bumper support area and adjacent structure are exposed, displaced, and deformed. The radiator and condenser area also show crushed and distorted fins and mounting areas, with loose wiring and components hanging below the vehicle. The front-left fender and wheel-arch area are torn and severely deformed, with internal components exposed. The front-right corner is also heavily crushed, particularly around the fender and lamp area. Both visible left-side doors have deep creasing, crushed sheet metal, torn surfaces, and disrupted trim. The left rocker panel and lower body are substantially deformed beneath the doors, and the left rear door has additional moderate denting and creasing. The windshield has extensive radiating cracks from a large impact area across the upper central and passenger-side glass. Frontal airbags have deployed from the steering wheel and dashboard, and curtain airbags are hanging along the roofline and side-window areas. Factory decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E300-4M sedan, built in Germany, with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder engine, automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The vehicle is substantially damaged and should be considered a major repair project. A complete inspection of the body structure, chassis, cooling system, steering and suspension, wiring, restraint systems, drivetrain, and other hidden components will be required before assessing repairability or roadworthiness.
