2020 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 350 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as “Right Side.” Stage 1’s photo-based assessment supports this claim: substantial dents, creases, scratches, and a missing right exterior mirror are visible on the vehicle’s right side. The right rear door has a large irregular depression and crease across its middle and lower sections, along with multiple horizontal paint scratches. The right front door also has a broad indentation with several sharp creases extending toward the lower portion. Both right-side doors show long horizontal scratches and areas of paint abrasion. The right exterior mirror is missing from its mounting position, leaving internal components and wiring exposed. The detached mirror assembly was observed on the floor beside the vehicle, with a loose wire extending from it. Additional light scuffing is present around the right front fender and adjacent front bumper corner. The hood has a long, irregular gouge in the right-center area, with dark exposed material and surrounding linear scratches. The VIN decodes as a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class SUV, GLE350-4M trim, manufactured in the United States. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter M264 four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 255 horsepower and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle is identified as a five-passenger, four-door SUV. The supplied NHTSA recall data lists multiple recalls applicable to this model and year. These include issues involving the dashboard and passenger-airbag deployment, emergency-call and communication-module software, rearview-camera operation, prefuse-box wiring, air-conditioner drain hoses and possible water intrusion, rear door window trim, the rear crossmember, electronic stability-control software, headlight adjustment, seat assembly, instrument-cluster illumination, and—where equipped—the illuminated grille star and Driver Assistance Package radar system.
