2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 350 4MATIC

The auction record lists the primary damage as “Rear.” Stage 1’s assessment supports this claim based on visible deformation and abrasion to the rear liftgate and rear bumper; additional visible damage is also present on the front lower bumper. The most significant damage is concentrated on the lower rear liftgate around the license-plate recess, where there is a large inward depression, irregular panel contours, and creasing. Multiple dark scrape marks and paint abrasions are visible in the same area. The lower rear bumper has a broad scraped band across the center, additional abrasion and irregular damage at the right corner, and a visible crack with a broken-looking edge near the liftgate seam. A black lower bumper section near the right exhaust outlet appears separated and hangs downward. At the front, the lower bumper has several light linear scuff marks on the center-right section. The central lower grille area also has broken and displaced plastic, while the surrounding center-right bumper trim is split, with irregular broken edges and an adjacent displaced section. The rear liftgate, rear bumper, and front bumper/grille areas should be physically inspected to determine the full repair requirements and confirm the condition of any concealed components.
