2024 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE

The vehicle is listed with a salvage title certificate and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated front-end damage classification, with extensive body and component damage visible. The salvage-title status itself cannot be verified from photographs. The front bumper cover, lower front trim, and center grille assembly are missing. Detached bumper, grille, and other front-end components are visible beside the vehicle, with several pieces showing broken edges and separated sections. The hood has multiple creases and depressed areas across its front and center sections, and its leading edge is raised above the surrounding panels. Both front corners show damage. The left headlamp area has broken or missing surrounding trim, exposed internal components, and an irregular opening. The right headlamp and fender area also has broken trim, exposed mounting components, and irregular panel gaps. The upper front panel and lower front support members appear broken, bent, or displaced, leaving the radiator and condenser area exposed. The driver airbag is deployed from the steering wheel. Additional airbags are visible hanging from the front passenger-side lower dashboard area and along the upper side-window area. The instrument display shows the message “Active Brake Assist Functions Limited,” along with multiple illuminated warning indicators. Inside the vehicle, light-colored scuff or abrasion marks are visible on the outer portion of the right rear seat cushion. Further inspection and repair assessment should include the front structural and cooling-support areas, lighting and driver-assistance systems, airbag and restraint components, wiring, and mechanical systems affected by the collision.
