2024 MERCEDES-BENZ GLB

The vehicle is a 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class, identified by the factory decode as a GLB250 4MATIC with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automated manual transmission. It was manufactured in Mexico. The auction record lists a salvage certificate of title and “REAR END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification through extensive damage to the rear liftgate, rear body structure, and missing rear bumper; substantial front-end damage is also visible. At the rear, the bumper assembly and liftgate glass are missing. The liftgate is severely deformed, raised from the opening, and has creasing, damaged edges, and exposed inner structure. The lower rear body panel and the areas around the cargo opening are visibly deformed, creased, torn, or exposed. Wiring, mounting points, and internal rear components are left uncovered. The front bumper, grille, both headlamp assemblies, and additional front fascia components are missing. The front reinforcement beam, radiator area, reservoir, wiring, and other internal mounting structures are exposed, particularly at the left front corner. This vehicle has extensive collision damage at both the rear and front and will require substantial parts replacement and structural, electrical, and body repairs. A comprehensive physical inspection is recommended to determine the condition of components not visible in the provided findings.
