2020 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 350 4MATIC

This 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 is recorded by the auction with a primary damage classification of “Front End.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification: the front bumper cover and grille are missing, front fascia components are detached, the hood is deformed, and damage is visible around the front lamp and fender areas. The front-end damage is severe and extensive. The bumper cover, outer fascia, and center grille are absent, exposing the radiator, brackets, wiring, cross-brace, and other internal front-end components. Several lower front panels and fascia pieces are detached and hanging forward or downward, with broken and irregular plastic mounting edges. The front corner and bumper mounting area are exposed and displaced. A headlamp assembly is missing from the front lamp position on the left side of the image. The front fender is absent on the side shown, exposing wheel-area structure, wiring, brackets, and inner components. The wheel-well liner and adjacent plastic components are displaced or missing. The hood has a pronounced crease and deformation along its front edge, particularly at the left-front corner, with an uneven edge profile and irregular spacing above the exposed front end. The supplied findings document visible exterior and front-structure damage only. They do not establish the condition of the radiator, cooling system, wiring, sensors, steering or suspension components, airbag system, engine, transmission, or vehicle frame. A comprehensive physical inspection and diagnostic scan are recommended before purchase, along with verification that all required front-end components and safety systems can be properly restored.
