2012 MERCEDES-BENZ GLK GLK350 4-MATIC

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction’s primary damage designation is “front end.” Stage 1 reports that the available photos partially support this designation: localized deformation is visible at the left front fender and hood corner, but the photos do not show extensive or severe front-end damage. Visible damage includes moderate denting and sharp creasing to the left front fender around the upper wheel arch and headlamp area, along with additional deformation at the front-left corner of the hood above the headlamp. Light-colored paint scuffing is also present on the left front fender near the headlamp. At the rear, the liftgate has broad horizontal deformation and a pronounced crease below the Mercedes emblem and above the license-plate recess. A rectangular opening is visible in the lower-right rear bumper where a cover or insert is missing. The findings indicate localized collision damage at both the front and rear of the vehicle. A thorough physical inspection is recommended to assess any underlying structural, mechanical, lighting, alignment, or safety-system issues that cannot be confirmed from the available findings.
