2016 MERCEDES-BENZ E E350

The auction record lists this 2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class as a salvage vehicle with “FRONT END” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the stated primary-damage claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood has multiple deep folds and pronounced deformation, with its front edge raised and uneven. The front bumper cover is torn and displaced, with separated sections and loose components extending below the bumper. The front-left headlamp assembly is absent or extensively broken, exposing internal components and wiring. The front-left fender and wheel-arch area are heavily creased and deformed. The grille and surrounding trim are moderately damaged, with uneven gaps and broken or separated sections. Visible radiator-support and upper front-end components are severely bent, broken, and displaced, with wiring and other internal components exposed. These visible findings indicate that the front-end structure and components require thorough physical inspection before repair or purchase. The windshield has a moderate spiderweb-like crack in the lower driver-side area. There is also minor cosmetic damage to the center of the rear bumper, consisting of white paint transfer and chipped or missing dark paint.
