2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE GLE350

The vehicle is a 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE listed with a salvage, rebuildable certificate of title. The auction identifies the primary damage as rear-end damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim: the rear bumper cover and both rear bumper corner coverings are missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement, absorber components, inner structures, mounting hardware, and related areas. The rear damage is extensive across the vehicle’s width. Both rear bumper corners have missing covering and trim, with inner plastic structures and mounting areas exposed. The right rear quarter panel also has multiple scrape and paint-transfer marks around the wheel arch and rear corner. Separate front-end damage is visible. The front bumper has scraping, paint transfer, missing or displaced sections along the lower edge and left corner, and exposed inner components. The lower center and corner bumper trim/grille section is missing. The left front fender and adjacent front-left hood edge have scuffing, paint transfer, and areas of paint loss. The instrument cluster shows illuminated amber tire-pressure and engine-shaped warning indicators. The causes of these warnings and the operating status of the related systems cannot be determined from the available findings. A physical inspection is recommended to assess structural condition, concealed damage, wiring, sensors, mechanical systems, and the completeness and cost of required repairs.
