2014 MERCEDES-BENZ GLK GLK350

The vehicle is a 2014 Mercedes-Benz GLK being offered with a salvage vehicle title. The auction lists hail as the primary damage. However, Stage 1 reports that the visible hood and rear hatch surfaces are largely smooth and do not show the dense pattern of small shallow dents typically expected from hail. The roof was not shown clearly enough for a complete assessment, so its condition remains unconfirmed. Based on the provided photos, the visible evidence does not support the hail primary-damage claim. Observed cosmetic findings include several dark scuff marks and linear scratches on the lower left corner of the rear bumper, along with shorter dark scratches on the lower right portion. Light gray scuffing is also visible along the lower side trim beneath the doors. Both front headlamp lenses appear cloudy and discolored. The driver’s seat shows moderate upholstery wear. The light-colored leather or leather-like material on the outer bolster is cracked, abraded, and peeling, with a longitudinal tear or split in the lower cushion area. No additional damage or mechanical findings were provided.
