2020 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE GLE350-4M

The vehicle is listed with a **SALVAGE CERTIFICATE**, which is a documentation status and cannot be confirmed or contradicted from exterior photographs. The auction’s stated primary damage is **FRONT END**. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification: the front bumper, grille, multiple trim pieces, and one headlamp are missing or detached, and the hood has visible deformation. The hood shows raised and indented areas with pronounced creasing on both front sides. The complete front bumper cover is absent, exposing the radiator, cooling components, mounting brackets, and wiring. The front grille, surrounding trim, air-inlet grilles, and other fascia sections are also missing. The left front headlamp assembly is absent, leaving its mounting area, brackets, and wiring exposed. The front section of the left wheel-arch trim is missing, with inner components and mounting points visible. The removed front-end components, including the bumper assembly, grille pieces, trim, and one headlamp, are shown separated from the vehicle. A thorough inspection is recommended to assess the condition of the exposed cooling, mounting, wiring, lighting, and underlying front-end components, as well as to determine the full repair requirements.
