2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE GLE350

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate, and the auction’s primary-damage designation is FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end collision damage supports the FRONT END designation; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The front-left fender is heavily crumpled around the wheel arch and headlamp area, with extensive scraping and exposed lighter-colored material. The front-left edge of the hood is deformed and scraped, with an uneven gap above the damaged fender and headlamp. The front-left headlamp has a broken or missing outer section, leaving a dark exposed area and irregular surrounding edges. The front-left bumper corner is severely torn and scraped, with an irregular opening and separated material. An insert or lamp component is missing from the lower front-left bumper opening. The lower chrome-colored trim on the left side of the front bumper is scraped, distorted, and separated from the surrounding surface. Inside, the driver’s seat leather shows minor scuffing and surface abrasion on the outer bolster and front portion of the cushion. A physical inspection is recommended to assess repairs, alignment, lighting-system operation, and any damage not visible in the provided findings.
