2018 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE GLE350

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE is listed with a salvage certificate, and the auction’s primary damage is recorded as FRONT END. The visible front-left fender, headlamp, bumper, and hood-edge damage supports the auction’s front-end damage classification; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The front-left fender is severely crushed, with multiple sharp creases and an open area around the headlamp and wheel-arch region. The front-left headlamp is shattered, with broken internal and external components. The front-left bumper cover is severely damaged, with missing sections, torn edges, displaced material, and exposed components behind it. The front-left lower trim is also torn and displaced, with part of it hanging outward. The adjacent left-front hood edge has moderate creasing and an irregular raised section. Additional collision damage is visible along the left side and rear. The left rear quarter panel has a large, severely recessed dent with multiple creases extending around the wheel arch. Both left-side doors are moderately deformed: the rear door has a broad depression and horizontal creasing, while the front door has horizontal deformation and a recessed area across the lower and middle sections. The left rear bumper corner is moderately deformed and creased near the damaged quarter panel. The visible findings indicate extensive damage concentrated at the front-left corner, with further impact-related deformation along the left side and left rear quarter area. A complete assessment should include inspection of the underlying structure, lighting and bumper mounting points, wheel-arch and suspension areas, cooling and electrical components, safety systems, and vehicle alignment.
