2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLS 450 4MATIC

The auction listed the primary damage as Front End. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment found that the visible evidence supports this classification: the front bumper, grille, headlamps, and multiple other front-end components are missing or detached. The front bumper cover and grille assembly are absent, exposing the front understructure, mounting brackets, wiring, and cooling components. Both headlamp assemblies are missing, with their mounting areas and wiring visible. The front cooling area is open, exposing multiple radiator or heat-exchanger components, hoses, brackets, and the fan assembly. Front fascia panels, lower air guides, wheel-opening liners, and other trim are missing from both front corners. Several front-end components are detached and shown separately from the vehicle. Additional visible damage includes light scuffing on the front portion of the hood and scraped, chipped areas on the upper rear bumper step. The provided findings do not confirm the condition of concealed structural, mechanical, electrical, or safety-system components. A thorough physical inspection and diagnostic assessment would be required before estimating the full repair scope or determining whether the vehicle is operational.
