2020 MERCEDES-BENZ GLS 450 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as Left Side. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, with substantial damage at the left rear quarter area and additional damage at the left front corner. The left rear quarter panel, above and ahead of the rear wheel, has a large, sharply creased dent extending around the wheel-arch area. White paint transfer and abrasion are visible. Additional horizontal and diagonal scratches affect the quarter panel and adjacent wheel-arch trim. The left rear bumper corner also has moderate scraping and white paint transfer. At the front, the left fender and bumper corner show extensive horizontal abrasion, surface scratching, and white paint transfer. The lower left section of the front bumper, including the lower lip and textured trim, is scuffed and scratched. The front underbody shield and adjacent left-side underbody area have jagged tears, broken sections, and visibly displaced or hanging plastic material. Nearby underbody components show scraping. The findings do not establish the condition of hidden structural, suspension, steering, drivetrain, or electrical components; a physical inspection and functional check are recommended before purchase.
