2024 MERCEDES-BENZ GLS 450 4MATIC

The auction record lists the vehicle’s condition as “Clear” and identifies the primary damage as “Right Side.” However, Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence contradicts the “Clear” condition statement because extensive collision damage is visible. Stage 1 also reports that the “Right Side” damage classification is not supported by the clearest views, which show extensive damage along the vehicle’s left side. The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 has severe collision damage affecting the left front and left rear doors. Both door panels contain extensive deep dents, sharp creases, crushed lower sections, and distorted surfaces. The left rocker panel and lower side molding are also severely deformed, creased, and scraped along the length of the damaged doors. At the left rear wheel opening, the black wheel-arch liner or splash shield is detached and hanging outward, with the wheel-arch edge and exposed fastener area visible. The left front tire is severely deformed at the lower sidewall and appears deflated or displaced from its normal seated position. The vehicle is supported on a block beneath that wheel. The instrument cluster displays a red restraint-system warning indicator and a yellow tire-pressure warning indicator. These warnings require diagnostic testing and physical inspection, particularly because the vehicle is equipped with front, side, and curtain airbags and seat-belt pretensioners. According to the VIN decode, this is a U.S.-built 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class SUV with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six gasoline engine, and a nine-speed transmission. The VIN record identifies the engine as the Mercedes-Benz M256 and lists a rated output of 375 horsepower. A complete structural, suspension, wheel-and-tire, restraint-system, and electronic diagnostic inspection is recommended before purchase.
