2016 MERCEDES-BENZ E E350-4M

The auction record lists the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE – SALVAGE,” with “SIDE” recorded as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the SIDE classification, based on extensive damage to the left-side doors, fender, mirror, and rocker panel. Stage 1 also notes that the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The 2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan has severe collision damage concentrated on the left side. The left front door outer panel is extensively crushed, deeply creased, and displaced along the lower edge. The left rear door has a large dent with multiple creases, while the left front fender and wheel-arch area are substantially deformed. The left exterior mirror is broken and displaced. Pronounced crushing and irregular deformation are also visible in the left rocker panel below the doors, which should be carefully assessed for possible underlying damage during a physical inspection. Additional visible damage includes creasing and an uneven profile at the left front edge of the hood, multiple long cracks and branching fractures across the windshield, and displaced or incomplete trim in the lower center section of the front bumper. The front passenger airbag is visibly deployed, with the cushion hanging from the passenger seat and dashboard area. The restraint-system components, dashboard, wiring, sensors, and related safety systems should be professionally inspected and replaced as required before the vehicle is considered roadworthy. According to the VIN decode, this is a Germany-built 2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E350-4M sedan with all-wheel drive, a 3.5-liter gasoline six-cylinder engine, and a four-door body. The available data also identifies front airbags for the first row, side airbags for the first and second rows, and seat-belt pretensioners. A complete inspection should include the body and rocker structure, suspension and steering, wheel-arch area, electrical systems, windshield installation, airbag and restraint systems, and alignment.
