2022 MERCEDES-BENZ GLS GLS450 4MATIC

The vehicle is listed with a “CERT OF TITLE–SALVAGE” condition and an auction primary-damage code of “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible severe damage is concentrated in the front-right/front-end area and supports the stated “FRONT END” code. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The most significant damage affects the front-right corner. The front-right fender is heavily crushed around the wheel opening, with sharp folds and displaced panel surfaces. The front-right door has a large irregular dent and creasing along its forward and lower sections, together with scuffing and exposed lighter-colored marks. The front-right edge of the hood is sharply deformed, with an uneven raised gap above the headlamp and fender. The front-right headlamp assembly is broken and displaced, with visible gaps and exposed internal components. The front-right bumper corner is heavily crushed and torn, while the front bumper cover and lower grille trim are cracked, displaced, and partly missing or hanging away from the vehicle. Large uneven gaps are visible between the hood, headlamp, fender, and bumper. The forward section of the right running board also has displaced and broken-looking pieces near the damaged wheel and fender area. The instrument display shows the warning, “Check Front Right Parking Lamp,” consistent with the visible damage in the front-right lighting area. The findings do not establish the condition of the underlying structural, suspension, steering, cooling, electrical, or driver-assistance systems; these areas require a thorough physical inspection and functional assessment before purchase.
