2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE GLE350

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a **Certificate of Salvage** and identifies **SIDE** as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible side damage supports the reported SIDE code; however, the salvage certificate status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The main visible damage is concentrated on the rear side door and adjacent lower rocker area. The door has a large, deep dent with multiple sharp creases across the lower and middle sections, extending into the lower door edge and rocker area. Surface abrasion and scuffing are also visible. The damage is assessed as moderate collision damage. Inside the vehicle, the steering-wheel rim shows glossy, worn areas along the hand-contact surfaces. The outer lower bolster of the front driver’s seat has visible leather creasing and light surface abrasion, both assessed as minor cosmetic wear.
