2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 350 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as Left Front. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, with extensive collision damage clearly visible at the vehicle’s front-left corner. The front-left hood is severely crushed, sharply creased, torn, and displaced above the corner. The front-left fender and wheel-arch area are also extensively crushed and torn, with exposed areas around the wheel opening. The front-left headlamp assembly is missing, leaving exposed components and wiring. The left corner of the front bumper cover is broken and detached, while the lower bumper and chrome trim are cracked, separated, and displaced. Several front-end body panels and coverings are absent or broken, exposing wiring, brackets, hoses, and other components in the engine-bay area. The rear liftgate has moderate inward dents and broad creases around the license-plate recess and lower-left section. A dashboard warning is also visible stating, “Check Front Right Parking Lamp.” The provided findings do not establish the operating condition of the engine, transmission, cooling system, steering, suspension, airbags, or other components affected by the front-end impact. A complete structural, mechanical, electrical, and safety-system inspection is recommended before purchase. The VIN decodes as a 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class SUV, trim GLE350-4M, with a turbocharged 2.0-liter gasoline four-cylinder engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States. NHTSA records list multiple recalls for the 2021 GLE 350.
