2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE GLE350

The vehicle is a 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE. The auction lists the primary damage as rear-end damage and identifies the vehicle condition as “Certificate of Title (P).” The visible damage findings support the stated rear-end damage claim; however, the certificate-of-title status cannot be verified from exterior photos. The lower center section of the rear tailgate is severely deformed, with extensive creasing below and beside the license-plate mounting area. A section to the left of the mounting area is punctured and torn. The lower tailgate trim is missing, leaving mounting clips and openings exposed. The rear bumper cover is also severely deformed, with uneven gaps through the center and lower sections. The chrome-colored lower trim is broken and displaced, and the trim at the right rear bumper corner is cracked, separated, and displaced from the bumper cover. Repair should include a detailed inspection of the tailgate, bumper structure, mounting points, and related rear-end components before estimating the full repair scope.
