2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 350 GLE350

The auction lists the primary damage as **rollover**. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim as a damage description, with extensive roof deformation, multiple broken or missing glass panels, and body damage across several side areas. However, the photos alone do not establish the actual damage mechanism. The vehicle has severe structural and body damage concentrated around the roof and upper body. The roof panel, both roof rails, the rear roof edge, and the upper windshield frame are visibly buckled, crushed, creased, and irregularly deformed. The left rear quarter panel is deeply crushed, with extensive deformation extending toward the roof-side area and wheel arch. The left front and rear door panels are missing, leaving the door openings exposed. Additional dents, creases, and scraping are visible on the right rear door and lower rocker area, while the left front fender is dented and creased. The hood has several surface scratches and scuff marks. Multiple glazing components are missing or severely damaged. The windshield is extensively shattered, with a large broken-out opening across the upper-middle area. The rear hatch glass, left and right rear quarter-window glass, and rear side glass are absent, with broken-glass residue around the openings. Glass fragments are also scattered across the front passenger seat, center console, cabin, and floor. Several airbags have deployed, including the front passenger-compartment airbags and side-curtain airbags along the left side and rear passenger area. The extent of roof, upper-frame, side-body, glass, and restraint-system damage indicates that substantial repairs and detailed structural inspection will be required. The condition of the vehicle’s mechanical systems, underbody, suspension, steering, electrical systems, seat belts, and other safety components cannot be determined from the provided findings. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class GLE350 SUV with a 3.5-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, seven-speed automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz of North America in the United States.
