2018 MERCEDES-BENZ GLS 450 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as Right Front. Stage 1’s visible-damage assessment supports this claim, identifying damage to the right-front bumper, headlamp, fender, and hood edge. The right-front bumper cover is severely torn, displaced, and missing a substantial section, leaving an open area that exposes components behind it. Electrical wiring and connectors are hanging below the damaged bumper area. The right-front headlamp assembly is severely broken, with damage to the lens, housing, and surrounding mounting area. The right-front fender is moderately deformed around the headlamp and wheel opening, while the front-right edge of the hood is raised, creased, and uneven. The findings describe visible exterior collision damage only. The exposed wiring and open bumper area should be inspected, along with the headlamp mounting points, adjacent structural components, cooling equipment, sensors, and other parts behind the damaged panels. Proper operation of the lighting and vehicle safety systems should also be verified after repair. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class GLS450-4M SUV with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter turbocharged gasoline six-cylinder engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle is configured with three rows and seven seats. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this vehicle model and year. Both concern communication-module software that may affect the emergency-call (eCall) system, potentially preventing emergency services from receiving the vehicle’s correct location or disabling the system. Recall completion should be verified with Mercedes-Benz before purchase.
