2022 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE GLE350

The vehicle is listed with a Salvage Certificate of Title, and the auction identifies the primary damage as “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end damage supports the auction’s unverified “FRONT END” damage code; however, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front end has extensive collision damage. The hood is severely folded across the front and center sections, with irregular gaps along its leading edge. Both front fenders are sharply deformed around the wheel arches, and inner wheel-well trim or components are damaged or missing. The front bumper fascia and grille-area trim are absent, exposing the radiator area, structural supports, wiring, and other components. Both headlamp assemblies are absent or extensively broken. The radiator and condenser are visibly bent and compressed, with damage to the surrounding supports. Lower front-end trim and components are broken, displaced, or hanging beneath the hood, while electrical wiring and harness sections are exposed and hanging at the front-left corner. The driver, front passenger, and curtain airbags are visibly deployed. Light surface scuffing is also present on the left rear bumper and adjacent lower body area. Given the extent of the front-end damage and airbag deployment, the vehicle will require substantial structural, cooling-system, electrical, body, lighting, restraint-system, and safety-system inspection and repair before road use. Mechanical condition, alignment, and the full extent of concealed damage cannot be determined from the supplied findings.
