2014 MERCEDES-BENZ GLK GLK250 BLUETEC 4-MATIC

The auction record lists the vehicle with a Certificate of Title and identifies hail as the primary damage. However, Stage 1’s photo review found that the photographs do not support the hail-damage code: the roof, hood, and trunk appear largely smooth, without a visible concentration of numerous shallow dents on the upward-facing panels. The Certificate-of-Title status cannot be verified from exterior photographs. Visible cosmetic findings include several light-colored scuff marks on the dark blue paint above and behind the front wheel opening, along with an irregular surface mark on the front door. Both visible headlamp lenses appear lightly cloudy or oxidized. The interior shows moderate wear. The driver’s seat outer bolster and front edge have extensive abrasion, discoloration, and surface deterioration. The front passenger seat outer bolster has extensive peeling, cracking, and dark discoloration. The steering-wheel rim covering is also visibly worn and peeling, with lighter and darker exposed areas along the upper and lower rim.
