2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLS GLS450-4M

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLS is listed with a Certificate of Salvage, and the auction’s primary damage classification is “SIDE.” Visible deformation of the left front door supports the SIDE primary-damage code. The Certificate of Salvage status cannot be confirmed from exterior and interior photographs. The left front door outer panel has moderate collision damage, consisting of broad inward deformation and multiple sharp creases below the side mirror and across the lower-middle section of the door. A right-side curtain airbag is visibly deployed, with white airbag fabric hanging from the roof-side opening above the rear passenger area. The outer side bolster of the left front seat also has a minor tear, exposing light-colored underlying material. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class GLS450-4M SUV with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter turbocharged gasoline V6 engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. It is configured with three seating rows and seven seats. Because a curtain airbag has deployed, the restraint system and related roof-side components should be professionally inspected and repaired, together with the door, adjacent body structure, wiring, and other safety systems, before the vehicle is considered road-ready.
