2015 MERCEDES-BENZ GLK GLK350 4-MATIC

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK is listed with an auction condition of “CERT OF SALVAGE > 75% DAMAGE” and a primary damage classification of “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end primary-damage claim, but the photos cannot confirm the “CERT OF SALVAGE > 75% DAMAGE” determination. The front end shows severe collision damage. The hood is heavily buckled and creased across its front section, with a crushed leading edge and a large gap above the grille. Multiple grille slats and surrounding components are missing or broken, exposing parts behind the grille. The upper front fascia is crushed and torn around the grille opening and vehicle-right headlamp, with irregular broken plastic edges. The adjacent vehicle-right front fender is moderately creased and deformed near the headlamp and hood edge. The front bumper cover has multiple scrapes and scuff marks across its lower and corner areas. The lower front chrome trim is separated from the bumper in the center-left area. The vehicle-left headlamp lens appears cloudy and discolored. Inside the vehicle, airbags have deployed from the steering wheel, passenger-side dashboard, and lower driver-side dashboard areas. The front driver seat cushion and side bolster have multiple large tears and open seams, while the front passenger seat cushion has a large tear with underlying material exposed. A comprehensive inspection is recommended to assess damage behind the visible front-end components, verify the vehicle’s structural and mechanical condition, and determine the full extent of required repairs.
