2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLS 450 4MATIC

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a “Clear” condition, with “Right Rear” shown as the primary damage. However, Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence contradicts the Clear condition: rear bumper damage, separated trim, missing trim material, and scuffing are clearly visible. Stage 1 considers the photos supportive of rear-end damage, concentrated mainly on the left rear/lower bumper area and extending across the lower rear bumper; the specific Right Rear designation is therefore only partially supported. The main visible damage involves the lower rear bumper. The bumper cover is detached and uneven, with open gaps along the lower edge and below the left rear lamp. The lower bumper trim is displaced and separated across much of the rear width, including displaced chrome-colored trim. A section of the lower-left bumper trim or insert is missing, leaving openings, mounting points, and dark internal areas exposed. The bumper cover also has multiple scratches, scuffs, and paint-transfer-like marks, particularly around the left rear corner and lower edge. The VIN decodes the vehicle as a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class SUV, GLS450-4M trim, built in the United States. It is equipped with a 3.0-liter turbocharged gasoline six-cylinder M276 engine rated at 362 horsepower. The provided data does not specify the transmission or drivetrain. The visible findings are concentrated at the rear bumper assembly. The condition of components behind the bumper, mounting hardware, sensors, structural parts, and mechanical systems cannot be established from the supplied findings and should be physically inspected before purchase.
