2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLS 550 4MATIC

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a “Clear” condition and identifies “Rear” as the primary damage. Stage 1’s assessment states that the visible evidence contradicts the “Clear” condition claim: substantial collision damage is visible, including a missing rear bumper assembly, exposed rear components, side-body deformation, scraping, and missing left rear-door window glass. Stage 1 also considers the rear damage consistent with the stated “Rear” primary-damage code, while noting additional damage on the left side. The painted rear bumper cover is completely missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement, absorber structure, mounting brackets, and related components. Both the left and right rear bumper corners are also missing their outer covers and trim, leaving mounting structures and lighting-related components exposed. The lower section of the left rear door has a pronounced dent and crease with paint scraping. The rocker panel below the doors is deformed and scraped, with areas of lighter-colored material exposed. Additional paint scrapes and chips are visible around the left rear door edge and adjacent left rear quarter panel. The left rear door window opening is empty, with no glass visible. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class GLS 550-4M SUV with all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 4.7-liter gasoline V8 engine, and an indicated output of 429 horsepower. It was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz of North America in the United States. The decoded data does not provide transmission details. The visible damage appears to require replacement of the rear bumper components and left rear-door window glass, along with structural and body repairs to the affected rear and left-side areas. A physical inspection should also verify the condition of the exposed mounting, bumper, lighting-related, and other underlying components before repair or purchase.
