2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLS 450 4MATIC

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage condition and identifies the primary damage as “Right Rear.” However, the photo review found visible damage at the left rear bumper rather than the stated right rear location. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence contradicts the auction’s Right Rear damage code; the salvage title status cannot be independently verified from photographs. The left rear bumper cover has a large, irregular opening with exposed dark inner material. A section of the bumper cover or adjacent trim is missing, representing moderate collision damage. Multiple minor horizontal gray and pink scuff marks are also visible across the left rear bumper cover, with additional light marks near the lower quarter-panel and wheel-arch area. The left rear alloy wheel has minor cosmetic finish damage, including chipped or missing black coating along several outer spoke edges and the rim perimeter. No wheel crack is clearly visible in the provided findings. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class SUV, trim listed as GLS450-4M, equipped with a gasoline 3.0-liter turbocharged M276 six-cylinder engine rated at 362 horsepower. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz of North America in Vance, United States. The provided VIN data does not specify the drivetrain or transmission details.
