2020 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 350 GLE350

This 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 is identified by VIN 4JGFB4JB8LA209170 as a GLE-Class SUV with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder engine, nine-speed automatic transmission, and five seats. Factory data lists a 255-horsepower M264 engine, left-hand drive, and production in Vance, Alabama. The drivetrain is not specified in the available decoding data. The auction lists the primary damage as Front End. Stage 1’s assessment is that the visible damage to the front bumper, front fender, headlamp-area trim, and lower front trim supports this category. Additional damage is visible on the front side door. The left front bumper cover is severely cracked and displaced. Its lower section is detached, and dark internal components are exposed. The trim and surrounding body material around the left headlamp are moderately damaged, with broken or missing sections creating an irregular opening beside the lamp. The adjacent front fender has visible creasing and deformation along the headlamp edge and above the wheel opening. The lower front bumper and grille trim are also broken and displaced, with separated pieces and an irregular opening at the front corner. The front side door has a large inward dent extending from below the window line toward the lower edge. Multiple dark scrape marks and areas of chipped paint are visible within the damaged section. The provided findings document exterior collision damage only. They do not establish the condition of the headlamp itself, internal mounting points, cooling components, sensors, steering or suspension, airbags, mechanical systems, or the vehicle’s ability to start and drive. A thorough physical inspection and diagnostic scan are recommended before purchase, with particular attention to the front-end structure, lighting and driver-assistance systems, and any components behind the damaged bumper and headlamp area. NHTSA records identify multiple recalls for this make, model, and year. These include recalls involving the dashboard and passenger-airbag deployment, emergency-call and communication-module software, rearview-camera display and multimedia software, the engine-compartment prefuse-box wiring, air-conditioner drain hoses that may allow water into the passenger compartment, rear-door window trim, the rear crossmember, the electronic stability program, LED headlamp adjustment, seat assembly, and—on vehicles equipped with the optional illuminated grille star—the related electrical ground connection. Recall repairs should be verified by VIN through Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer before the vehicle is returned to service.
