2016 MERCEDES-BENZ E E350

The vehicle is listed with a public salvage title and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the FRONT END classification; however, the public salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The main damage is concentrated at the left front corner. The left front fender has severe deformation, with torn and folded metal around the wheel arch and front corner. The front edge and left corner of the hood are moderately displaced and folded. The front bumper cover and center grille are missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement, radiator area, mounting points, and other internal front-end components. Additional black plastic fascia pieces and mounting structures are broken, incomplete, or absent. The detached bumper cover also has multiple broken, separated, and distorted sections with exposed internal ribs and mounting points. Minor cosmetic damage is visible at the rear: a dark scuff is present on the lower right rear bumper cover, and light scratches and surface marks appear on the right rear door and adjacent side panel. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E350 sedan, manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Germany. The decoded specifications include a 3.5-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, front-row driver and passenger airbags, side airbags for the first and second rows, curtain airbags, seat-belt pretensioners and load limiters, and direct tire-pressure monitoring. The transmission and drivetrain are not specified in the supplied decoding data. Due to the extensive front-end damage and exposed components, the vehicle requires a thorough inspection for structural, mechanical, cooling-system, electrical, restraint-system, and sensor-related damage before repair or purchase.
