2014 MERCEDES-BENZ E E350

The vehicle is a 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The auction record lists a salvage certificate with “more than 75% damage” and identifies the primary damage as front-end damage. However, Stage 1 reports that the visible photos do not support either auction claim: the front end appears largely intact, with only localized damage visible at the lower left corner of the front bumper. The bumper damage consists of moderate scuffing, an uneven edge, and apparent missing or broken bumper material. The driver’s seat has a long tear and split in the leather upholstery along the front and side of the lower cushion. The center armrest shows creasing and wear, while the center console trim below the controls has visible peeling or deterioration. A physical inspection is recommended to assess any damage not visible in the provided findings, verify the bumper’s condition and mounting, and evaluate the vehicle’s overall repair history.
