2024 MERCEDES-BENZ GLS 580 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as **Rear**. Stage 1’s photo review states that the visible rear-end damage supports this auction classification. The rear bumper assembly is severely damaged. The bumper cover is detached or missing, with large sections of cracked, torn, and broken plastic around the lamp and corner areas. Its absence exposes the rear reinforcement beam, mounting hardware, wiring, and other internal components. Rear corner bumper trim is missing on both the left and right sides. The lower and central rear liftgate is visibly crushed, with multiple deep creases, broad depressions, and deformed sheet metal below the rear lamp assemblies. The lower section of the left rear lamp lens is broken, exposing the dark inner housing. The supplied findings document substantial rear collision damage. Because internal components and mounting structures are exposed, a physical inspection is recommended to assess any additional damage not visible in the provided findings, as well as the condition of the liftgate, reinforcement structure, wiring, lamps, sensors, and related safety systems before repair or purchase.
