2022 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 350 4MATIC

The auction record lists the vehicle as salvage with “Left Side” as the primary damage. The visible evidence supports the left-side damage classification: the left front fender has a pronounced dent and crease above and behind the wheel opening, with multiple scraped and abraded areas along the rear wheel-arch edge. Similar dark scrape marks and white paint abrasion extend onto the adjacent front door edge. A minor brownish scuff or paint-transfer mark is also visible on the lower left front bumper corner. The salvage title status cannot be confirmed from the available photos alone. Two airbags are visibly deployed. A fabric airbag is protruding from the outer side bolster of the driver’s front seat, and a curtain airbag is hanging from the roof-side area across the passenger compartment. The restraint system, associated sensors, wiring, interior trim, and any other collision-related components should be professionally inspected and repaired before the vehicle is considered roadworthy. The available findings do not establish the extent of any structural, suspension, steering, or mechanical damage. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE350 4MATIC, an all-wheel-drive SUV equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder M264 engine rated at 255 horsepower and a nine-speed transmission. It was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz of North America in Vance, Alabama. NHTSA records show four recalls associated with the 2022 GLE-Class/GLE350 range. They concern possible fuel-pump shutdown and loss of drive power; communication-module software that may disable the emergency-call function; incorrectly routed front acceleration-sensor wiring that may affect airbag deployment; and rear-door window trim that may detach. Recall applicability and completion status for this specific VIN should be verified with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer before purchase.
