2021 MERCEDES-BENZ E E350-4M

This 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E350-4M sedan (VIN: W1KZF8EB7MA877542) is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction’s primary damage classification is “SIDE.” These are unverified auction designations. The photo-based review reports that the visible evidence supports the side-damage classification, with extensive collision damage clearly present on the vehicle’s left side. The salvage-title status could not be confirmed from exterior photographs. The left front and left rear door outer panels are severely damaged, with deep dents, sharp creases, folded metal, and torn or displaced lower sections extending across the lower and middle portions of both doors. The left rocker panel and lower sill beneath the doors are also severely crushed and deformed, with displaced exterior trim. The rear portion of the left front fender, near the door and wheel arch, has moderate creasing and deformation. The left-side restraint system has been activated. A side-curtain airbag is deployed along the upper left roof and window area, and the left front seat-mounted airbag is protruding from the outer seat bolster. The instrument cluster displays illuminated airbag, ABS, parking-assist, and vehicle-system warning indicators while the vehicle is stationary. Factory VIN data identifies the vehicle as a Germany-built Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan with a turbocharged 2.0-liter gasoline four-cylinder M264 engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The decoded equipment data also lists standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, direct tire-pressure monitoring, front and side airbags, curtain airbags, and seat-belt pretensioners. The extent of the side and rocker-panel deformation, together with the deployed airbags and warning indicators, indicates that a comprehensive inspection of the body structure, doors, rocker area, restraint systems, wiring, braking and driver-assistance systems will be required before repair or purchase decisions are made.
