2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLS 450 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as “Front & Rear.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, with substantial missing and damaged components observed at both ends of the vehicle. At the front, the hood has raised and creased areas along its leading edge and both front-side sections. The front bumper cover, grille, and lower fascia are missing, exposing the radiator assemblies, bumper reinforcement, brackets, washer reservoir, wiring, and other mounting structures. Plastic fascia, corner trim, and lower bumper sections are absent on both front corners. The mounting and support structures around both headlamp areas are visibly fractured or incomplete. The rear bumper cover is missing across the rear width, including the lower valance and associated trim. The bumper reinforcement, lower supports, exhaust-area components, and internal mounting structures are exposed. The visible left rear corner is missing its outer lamp assembly and surrounding trim, leaving the lamp cavity, wiring, and mounting hardware exposed. Irregular or damaged plastic support pieces and open mounting points are also present in this area. The right rear corner is missing its bumper side cover and lower corner trim. No mechanical, structural, electrical, or safety-system condition beyond the listed visible damage is established by these findings. A physical inspection should be completed to assess concealed damage, wiring, cooling-system components, sensors, lighting systems, bumper reinforcement mounting points, and the operation of the vehicle’s safety systems before purchase or repair.
