2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLS 450 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as rear damage. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment supports this claim, citing extensive missing rear bumper components and visible deformation at the right rear quarter-panel junction. The most significant visible damage affects the rear bumper assembly. The bumper cover and lower trim are missing across much of the rear, including both corner sections. The bumper reinforcement, brackets, mounting hardware, wiring, and other underlying components are exposed. The right rear quarter panel near the tail lamp and bumper junction is visibly creased and deformed. Several detached bumper and trim pieces, including components with broken or separated mounting sections, are stored loose in the cargo area. A separate moderate issue is visible at the front lower bumper, where a dark trim component is displaced downward with an open gap around it. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class SUV, GLS450-4M trim, equipped with a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 362 horsepower. It was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz of North America in the United States. The VIN data does not provide a confirmed transmission or drivetrain specification beyond the trim designation. A physical inspection is recommended to assess the exposed rear structure, wiring, mounting points, quarter-panel alignment, and any damage not visible in the supplied findings.
