2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 350 GLE350

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 is listed by the auction with a primary damage classification of “Right Front.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification, with the most extensive damage concentrated at the vehicle’s right-front corner. The right-front hood and fender are severely crushed and heavily creased, with scraped paint, torn edges, missing panel material, and open gaps exposing the area behind the bodywork. The right headlamp assembly is cracked, displaced, and broken, with internal components exposed. The right side of the front bumper, lower grille, and fascia are severely broken, partially missing, detached, and hanging below the front corner. Wiring and other internal components are visible. A bumper support or reinforcement component behind the bumper is also visibly deformed. The instrument cluster visibly shows a check-engine warning indicator and a tire-pressure warning indicator. The available findings do not establish the causes of these warnings, so further diagnostic testing is required. According to the VIN decode, this vehicle is a U.S.-built Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class SUV with the GLE 350 trim. It is equipped with a 3.5-liter, six-cylinder gasoline M276 engine, a seven-speed automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The decoded vehicle information lists standard electronic stability control, traction control, direct tire-pressure monitoring, and front and side airbag equipment. The reported damage and warning indicators should be assessed through a complete mechanical, electrical, structural, lighting, restraint-system, and diagnostic inspection before purchase or road use.
