2021 MERCEDES-BENZ G 550 SUV

The auction record lists the vehicle’s condition as “Clear” and identifies “Rear” as the primary damage classification. These are auction designations and should be treated as unverified claims. Stage 1 reports that the visible dent and deformation at the left rear upper body support the stated rear damage location, while the visible body damage is inconsistent with an unqualified “Clear” condition. The main observed damage is a pronounced inward dent and crease in the left rear upper body panel beside the rear window and below the roof edge, extending vertically through the roof-side/D-pillar area. This is classified as moderate collision damage. The front grille guard and brush guard assembly also have multiple areas of missing black coating on the horizontal and vertical bars, exposing lighter-colored material underneath. This is minor cosmetic damage. According to the VIN decoding, this is a 2021 Mercedes-Benz G 550/G-Class SUV, built in Austria. It is equipped with a turbocharged 4.0-liter M176 gasoline V8 and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The decoded equipment includes standard ABS, traction control, electronic stability control, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, forward-collision warning, rear cross-traffic alert, rear visibility assistance, and park assist. NHTSA records list several recalls applicable to the 2021 G-Class range. These include a potential fuel-pump shutdown that may cause loss of drive power, communication-module software that may disable the emergency call system, and rear-door latch concerns that may prevent proper latching or opening. A later recall applies to certain vehicles that received a replacement rear-door latch, specifically involving the right-side rear door latch. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz before purchase.
