2014 MERCEDES-BENZ GL GL450 4MATIC

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz GL is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction’s primary-damage designation is “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports this primary-damage claim; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front corner has severe damage. The bumper cover is extensively fractured, partially detached, and missing sections, with exposed internal components and white abrasion marks. The headlamp assembly at this corner is missing, leaving an open cavity. The adjacent front fender and wheel-arch area are moderately deformed, with broken edges and an irregular opening. The front corner of the hood is also visibly deformed, with an uneven contour where it meets the fender and front-end components. Multiple branching cracks are visible in the left and lower-left portions of the windshield. The findings document exterior collision damage only; the condition of the underlying structure, mechanical components, safety systems, and vehicle operation would require physical inspection and testing.
