2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLS 450 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as rear. Stage 1’s photo review reports that the visible evidence supports this claim: the lower rear bumper fascia and trim are separated, displaced, and partially missing. The rear bumper has moderate collision-related damage on both sides and across the lower center-right area. The right-side lower fascia is detached from the body, with an open gap and a loose black section near the corner. A portion of the lower bumper trim is missing, exposing mounting openings. The lower chrome-accented trim is displaced and interrupted near the center-right, while the left lower bumper edge also shows separation from the adjacent body panel. The lower bumper assembly therefore requires inspection and repair or replacement of affected fascia, trim, and mounting components. The interior shows minor cosmetic wear. The black leather driver’s seat has creasing, surface scuffing, and wear on the outer bolster and front cushion. Similar creasing and light scuffing are visible on the second-row seat cushion. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class GLS 450 4M with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle is identified as a seven-seat, three-row SUV manufactured in the United States. Two NHTSA recall campaigns are listed for this vehicle line. 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, which may overheat and increase fire risk; the stated remedy is inspection and tightening as necessary. Recall completion should be confirmed with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
