2015 MERCEDES-BENZ E E350

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz E is listed by the auction as a “NON-REPAIRABLE VEHICLE CERT,” with “SIDE” recorded as the primary damage classification. The visible evidence does support side-related exterior damage, including multiple scratches, scuff marks, paint abrasion, and localized dents across the front and rear doors, lower side molding, rocker panel, front fender, and adjacent bumper areas. A localized dent is also visible around the rear door and rear quarter panel. The front and rear bumper corners show additional scuffing and paint damage. Stage 1’s assessment is that the visible evidence supports the side-damage classification, but the provided photos do not show sufficient structural or other evidence to confirm that the vehicle is non-repairable. The auction’s non-repairable designation should therefore be treated as an auction claim requiring verification. The interior has notable cosmetic wear. Both front seat outer bolsters have extensive peeling and tearing with lighter-colored underlying material exposed. Additional abrasion and peeling are present on the center armrest/console and front seat surfaces. The rear seat lower cushions also have multiple abraded and torn areas with exposed underlying material.
