2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE GLE350

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE, with SIDE identified as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe damage to the vehicle’s left side supports the SIDE primary-damage claim; however, the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from photos. The left front door is severely crushed, with extensive inward deformation across the middle and lower sections. The metal is torn and folded, and the area shows scraped paint, brown material transfer, and exposed damaged inner material near the lower front section. The left exterior side mirror assembly is missing, leaving internal components and wiring exposed at the mounting area. A detached mirror component is also shown with a fractured plastic housing, separated sections, exposed internal parts, and broken mounting areas. A thorough physical inspection is recommended to assess concealed damage and determine the parts and repairs required.
