2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 350 4MATIC

The auction record designates this 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 as salvage, with “Left Side” listed as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification, with substantial damage concentrated around the left rear door, left rear quarter panel, and left rear bumper area. The left rear door and adjacent lower side panel have multiple long, deep horizontal scrapes, light-colored paint transfer, and localized deformation. The left rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area show severe crushing and scraping, extensive paint loss, white paint transfer, and irregular panel contours. The left rear bumper corner has additional horizontal and vertical scrape marks, paint transfer, and surface scuffing. The instrument cluster shows illuminated tire-pressure and engine warning indicators. The available evidence does not establish the cause of either warning or the condition of the related systems. The vehicle should therefore undergo a complete diagnostic scan and mechanical inspection before purchase or road use, including inspection of the damaged body structure, wheel-arch area, suspension, wheel, tire-pressure monitoring system, and engine-related systems. According to the VIN decoding, this is a U.S.-built Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class SUV with a 3.5-liter naturally aspirated gasoline V6 engine, automatic seven-speed transmission, and left-hand drive. The decoded engine is the M276, with six cylinders and a reported output of 302 horsepower. Factory safety and driver-assistance equipment listed by the decoder includes ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, front and side airbags, direct tire-pressure monitoring, and a rear visibility system. Some listed driver-assistance features are identified as optional, and the decoder does not confirm which options are installed on this specific vehicle.
