2022 MERCEDES-BENZ GLS 450 GLS450 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as **right-side damage**. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment supports this claim: extensive collision damage is visible on the right front door, right rear door, right rear quarter panel, rocker area, and right rear bumper. The right front door is severely crushed, with deep creasing, extensive paint scuffing, and deformation concentrated along the lower rear portion. The exterior handle and window glass are missing, and the window opening is exposed. The right rear door is also severely crushed through its central and lower sections, with scraped metal, substantial deformation along the bottom and rear edge, and missing exterior handle and window glass. Window components and portions of the surrounding trim are absent from both right-side doors. Additional damage is visible around the right rear quarter panel and wheel arch, including deformation, scraped paint, and missing wheel-arch molding. The fuel-filler opening is exposed because the fuel door is missing. The right rear bumper cover is detached and displaced outward, leaving a gap and exposing inner body areas at the rear corner. Lower rocker-panel trim is missing, with mounting holes and scraped, dirty metal visible along the sill. Several removed exterior components, including bumper and door-related trim pieces, are shown separately. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class GLS 450 4MATIC SUV with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter turbocharged gasoline inline-six engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States. Based on the documented exterior damage, substantial body, door, glass, trim, and bumper repairs or replacement will be required. The condition of concealed structural, mechanical, electrical, restraint, and safety-system components is not established by these findings and should be verified through a comprehensive physical inspection.
