2022 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 350 GLE350

The auction lists the primary damage as **Right Rear**. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim: damage is visible at the right rear bumper corner, and the right rear wheel assembly is missing. The right rear wheel and tire are absent, leaving the brake rotor and caliper exposed. This corner of the vehicle is currently supported by a block. The right rear bumper cover has extensive white abrasion, multiple deep horizontal gouges, and scraped areas across the outer corner and lower section. A jagged split and broken section are also visible near the wheel opening. The missing wheel assembly and associated rear-corner damage should be treated as severe until the suspension, hub, brake components, wheel-attachment hardware, and surrounding structure have been physically inspected. The vehicle should not be driven in its current condition. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle 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 nine-speed transmission. The decoded data does not specify the drivetrain. Four NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this make, model, and year. They concern a fuel pump that may shut down and cause loss of drive power (23V880000), communication-module software that may disable the emergency call system (22V365000), incorrectly routed front acceleration-sensor wiring that may affect air-bag deployment (24V724000), and rear door window trim bars that may detach (22V680000). Recall completion should be confirmed with Mercedes-Benz using the VIN before purchase.
