2018 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 350 GLE350

The auction records list the primary damage as “Front End” and the condition as “Clear.” Stage 1 reports that the visible lower front bumper damage supports the “Front End” classification. However, the Clear title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. Visible damage is concentrated at the lower front bumper. The lower bumper fascia or trim is detached across the lower edge, leaving a wide gap and exposed mounting points. The lower-left bumper corner is displaced and hanging away from the bumper, with underlying components and attachment points visible. The small access cover near the left tow-eye opening is missing. Light scuffing is also present on the lower front bumper cover. Additional minor dark marks and surface scuffs are visible on the rear liftgate and lower rear bumper. The VIN decodes as a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class GLE350 SUV, manufactured in the United States. It is equipped with a 3.5-liter M276 gasoline V6 engine and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The decoded information identifies a five-seat, left-hand-drive vehicle; the drive type was not provided. The supplied recall records identify several campaigns covering certain 2018 GLE350 vehicles. These include recalls involving the emergency-call communication module software or activation, as well as a fuel-pump control-unit issue associated with possible water accumulation in the spare-tire wheel well. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz before purchase, particularly for the fuel-pump control-unit inspection and any required repairs.
