2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE GLE350

The vehicle is a 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE listed with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and FRONT END as the auction’s primary-damage classification. The visible front-end collision damage supports the stated FRONT END classification; however, the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. Severe damage is concentrated at one front corner. The hood has a large crushed and folded section above the headlamp, with an irregular edge and an enlarged gap. The front fender is severely crumpled around the headlamp and wheel-arch area, and a section of material is missing from its front edge. The headlamp lens and housing are shattered, with internal components exposed. The front bumper cover is severely torn and displaced, leaving a large open area and exposing black components behind it. The lower air-intake grille on the damaged side is broken, with separated sections and an irregular opening. The hood, fender, headlamp, and bumper are visibly separated at the damaged corner, with exposed gaps and broken panel edges. In addition, the rear side door on the visible side has a moderate broad, shallow dent and crease across its middle-lower section. A complete assessment should include inspection of the underlying front-end structure, lighting and electrical systems, cooling components, suspension, and other components behind the damaged panels.
