2018 MERCEDES-BENZ E E400-4M

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class wagon is listed with a Certificate of Title and an auction primary-damage designation of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end damage supports the FRONT END designation; the Certificate of Title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front bumper cover and grille are missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement, radiator area, wiring, and other front-end components. Both headlamp assemblies are absent, with their mounting areas and wiring exposed. The leading edge of the hood is bent and uneven, and the visible front fender is significantly creased and deformed around the wheel opening and headlamp area. The wheel-arch liner is also missing on the visible front side, leaving the inner fender and wiring exposed. The detached bumper cover, headlamps, grille, and additional front-end trim and plastic components are shown separately. The available VIN data identifies the vehicle as a Germany-built 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E400-4M wagon with a 3.0-liter turbocharged gasoline V6, nine-speed automatic transmission, and four doors. The drivetrain is not specified in the supplied NHTSA decoding data. The extent of the visible front-end damage requires comprehensive inspection and repair assessment, including the exposed cooling system, wiring, mounting points, structural components, lighting systems, and related safety systems before the vehicle is considered roadworthy.
