2020 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS 447 (VS20)

The vehicle is listed with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and REAR END as the auction’s primary damage classification. These are auction designations and should be verified against the vehicle’s title and history. The provided photo-review assessment states that the detached and damaged rear bumper, together with deformation at the lower rear support area, supports the stated rear-end damage claim; the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The most significant damage is at the rear. The bumper cover is detached and hanging outward across the lower rear, with exposed mounting structure visible at both lower corners. The left rear bumper corner has a large open gap, with mounting components exposed and part of the bumper cover missing or displaced. At the right rear corner, the bumper cover is separated, exposing body metal, mounting areas, and wiring. The lower body panel below the rear cargo door is visibly deformed and irregular. The lower sections of the rear cargo doors also show dents and creases, particularly near their bottom edges. A rectangular opening is present in the lower left area of the front bumper, as viewed from the front, with a loose round component hanging from the opening. Inside the vehicle, the visible front seat cushion has a tear along its outer front edge, exposing lighter-colored material beneath. The supplied VIN data identifies this vehicle as a 2020 Mercedes-Benz Metris cargo van with rear-wheel-drive-type 4x2 configuration, a 2.0-liter gasoline M274 engine, and a Class 2E GVWR range of 6,001–7,000 lb. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz AG in Spain. The decoder notes that its model-year result may require confirmation, so the VIN and vehicle documents should be checked directly.
