2023 MERCEDES-BENZ EQE 350+ SUV EQE350+

The auction record lists the primary damage as **rear**. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification: the rear bumper cover and both rear bumper corner areas are missing, exposing rear mounting structures and internal components. The rear bumper cover is absent, and the reinforcement, mounting hardware, wiring, and other internal components are exposed. Both the right and left rear bumper corners, along with adjacent lower quarter-panel exterior trim, are also missing. The wheel-arch trim is missing on both sides, leaving mounting holes and the underlying wheel-arch areas visible. Several dark surface scuffs and a small yellowish discoloration are present on the visible side doors and lower side body. The VIN identifies this vehicle as a 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE 350+ SUV, an electric SUV manufactured by Mercedes-Benz of North America in Vance, Alabama. The decoded vehicle information lists a battery-electric powertrain with a 288-horsepower engine rating. Given the exposed rear wiring and internal components, a thorough physical inspection should confirm the condition of the wiring, sensors, mounting points, structural components, and electric-vehicle systems before repair or operation. Replacement of the missing bumper and exterior trim components will be required.
