2020 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 350 4MATIC

The auction’s primary damage designation is “Left Side.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim at the front-left corner, where concentrated damage is present; no clear damage was observed along the left doors or rear side. The main damage is concentrated around the front-left fender, headlamp, and bumper. The fender is moderately deformed, with broad scrape marks around the headlamp, wheel arch, and upper bumper junction. The front-left bumper corner has extensive horizontal abrasions, surface scuffing, deformation, and an uneven or displaced-looking lower edge. The headlamp lens and surrounding housing show impact marks, cracking or fractured lines, and an irregular opening at the outer edge. The gaps between the headlamp, fender, hood, and bumper are visibly widened and irregular. These findings indicate a moderate front-left corner collision impact. The condition of internal supports, mounting points, wiring, sensors, cooling components, wheel and suspension parts, and the headlamp’s operating function cannot be determined from the supplied findings and should be checked during a physical inspection. Factory decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class SUV, trim GLE350-4M, with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz of North America in Vance, Alabama. The decoded data does not specify the drivetrain field, although the trim is identified as GLE350-4M. NHTSA records list multiple recalls associated with the 2020 GLE 350 and related GLE models.

Some recalls apply only to particular equipment configurations or production vehicles. Recall completion should be confirmed by checking the VIN with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer, and any outstanding remedies should be completed before purchase.
