2020 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 350 GLE350

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 is listed with a “Clear” auction condition. However, Stage 1 reports that the exterior photos show no clear collision damage, while visible interior upholstery damage is present; therefore, the “Clear” condition is not fully supported. The available photos do not confirm or contradict the auction’s “Unknown” primary-damage classification. The documented damage is concentrated in the cabin. The driver’s seat outer left bolster has extensive abrasion and tearing, with the lighter underlying material exposed. The front center armrest has a concentrated area of heavy cracking, peeling, and loss of its outer finish. Both items are rated as moderate and may require upholstery repair or replacement. According to the VIN decode, this is a five-seat SUV with a 2.0-liter turbocharged M264 four-cylinder gasoline engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The vehicle was manufactured in Vance, Alabama, USA. The decoded drivetrain information is not available. Multiple NHTSA safety recalls are recorded for the 2020 GLE 350, including issues involving dashboard security, emergency-call communication software, rearview-camera display or multimedia software, the engine-compartment prefuse-box wiring, air-conditioner drain hoses and possible water intrusion, rear door-window trim, instrument-cluster illumination, the rear crossmember, seat assembly, ESP software, and LED headlight adjustment. Some recalls are conditional on equipment or drivetrain, including certain Driver Assistance Package and illuminated front-star configurations. Recall remedies generally involve dealer inspection, repair, replacement, or software updates at no charge. The completion status for this vehicle is not provided and should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer before purchase. A physical inspection should also check the interior, foot wells, electrical components, and recall-related areas.
