2012 MERCEDES-BENZ GLK GLK350 4-MATIC

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate, with the auction’s stated primary damage classified as front-end damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated front-end primary-damage claim; however, the salvage certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front end shows severe collision damage. The hood is extensively crushed and deformed across the front edge and center, with deep creases, folds, and an irregularly lifted leading edge. The front bumper cover is torn and fragmented, with missing material at the left corner and center-right area. The grille and surrounding fascia have broken and missing sections, leaving open gaps and exposing components behind them. The rear of the vehicle also has significant damage. The liftgate is severely dented and creased across the center and lower section, with folded sheet metal. The rear bumper cover has broken and missing lower sections, exposing components behind it. The chrome trim strip on the rear bumper is bowed and separated from the damaged surrounding panel. Both the steering-wheel airbag and the lower dashboard airbag beneath the steering column are visibly deployed. Their replacement would likely require related restraint-system inspection and repairs. Hidden damage to structural components, cooling or other mechanical systems, wiring, sensors, and the vehicle’s underside cannot be determined from the provided findings and should be checked through a comprehensive physical inspection before purchase.
