2022 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 350 GLE350

The auction record lists “Right Side” as the primary damage classification. However, Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence does not support this claim: the clearly visible collision damage is concentrated on the left side, while the photographed right side shows no comparable damage. The left front fender has a large inward dent with multiple sharp creases and areas of disrupted paint above the wheel opening. The left front door has several dents and creases, along with dark horizontal scrapes and exposed contrasting material near the handle. The left rear door also has multiple dents and creases around the handle and front edge, with scrape marks and paint disruption. An inward dent and crease are present on the left rear quarter panel above and forward of the rear wheel opening, with scraping near the wheel-arch trim. Additional dark scuffing and abrasion are visible along the lower left rocker and side-step area. The VIN decodes as a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class GLE 350 SUV, manufactured in the United States. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder engine rated at 255 horsepower and a 9-speed transmission. The supplied decode does not specify the drivetrain. Four NHTSA recalls are listed for this model and year. They concern a fuel pump that may shut down and cause loss of drive power; communication-module software that may disable the emergency-call function; incorrectly routed front acceleration-sensor wiring that may affect airbag deployment; and rear door window trim bars that may detach. The repair status for this individual vehicle should be confirmed with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer using the VIN. A physical inspection is recommended to assess the extent of the left-side body damage, paint and panel repair requirements, door and wheel-arch alignment, rocker-area condition, and any effects on structural or safety-related components.
