2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE GLE350

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a **SALVAGE CERTIFICATE**, with **REAR END** identified as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible rear-end collision damage supports the stated REAR END classification; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The right rear quarter panel is severely crushed, with extensive deformation and torn edges around the taillamp opening and wheel arch. The right rear taillamp assembly is missing, leaving the lamp cavity and internal components exposed. The rear bumper cover is displaced and torn away from the right rear corner, with broken and exposed mounting areas. Sections of the right rear wheel-arch trim are also missing, exposing fasteners and liner areas. The tailgate has a large indentation and creasing across its lower section, continuing into the right lower corner. The lower rear bumper trim and attached pieces are detached and lying on the ground behind the vehicle, leaving openings and internal mounting areas exposed. Inside the vehicle, the black upholstery on the lower side bolster of the driver’s seat has a visible tear with separated material along the edge. No VIN decoding or recall information was provided; recall status is therefore unknown.
