2015 MERCEDES-BENZ E E350 4-MATIC

The vehicle is a 2015 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E350 4MATIC sedan, VIN WDDHF8JB8FB120342. NHTSA decoding identifies all-wheel drive, a 3.5-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, direct tire-pressure monitoring, and manufacture in Sindelfingen, Germany. The auction record lists a salvage certificate of title and classifies the primary damage as “FRONT END.” However, the Stage 1 photo assessment found that the visible evidence does not support a significant front-end damage claim: only minor surface scuffing is visible on the front bumper, with no clearly visible major deformation or broken components. The documented exterior damage is limited to light cosmetic marks. Several surface scuffs and discolorations are visible on the lower front bumper. The rear bumper has light horizontal scuffing and discoloration, mainly across the center and right-side areas, with additional light abrasion-like marks on the outer right rear bumper corner below the taillight. Physical inspection is recommended to verify the condition of areas not visible in the provided images and to assess the basis of the salvage designation.
