2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLS 450 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as “Right Front.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim: damage is visible at the right-front bumper, adjacent body-panel junction, lower trim, and running-board area. The most significant findings are concentrated at the right-front corner. The bumper cover is detached from the headlamp and fender area, leaving large open gaps and exposing inner plastic and wheel-well components. The right-front fender, bumper, and headlamp junction is separated. The lower bumper/chrome trim is displaced, with sections hanging below the bumper, and the front portion of the right-side running board or rocker trim is also separated and hanging below the body. These conditions indicate substantial collision-related damage and require a detailed inspection of the mounting points, underlying body structure, lighting components, wheel-well area, and related systems before repair or operation. Light linear scuffs and scratches are visible on the hood, including the left and center-front areas, and on the right-front bumper. These are minor cosmetic findings compared with the detached and separated exterior components. The VIN decodes as a 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class GLS 450-4M SUV with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter turbocharged gasoline six-cylinder engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle is listed as a seven-seat, three-row model manufactured in the United States. Two NHTSA recall records are provided for this model and year. Recall 22V365000 concerns communication-module SIM-card software that may disable the emergency-call system; the stated remedy is a software update. Recall 24V207000 concerns a potentially unsecured 48-volt ground connection under the passenger seat that may overheat and increase fire risk; the stated remedy is inspection and tightening as necessary. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer.
