2020 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a salvage certificate with “REAR END” listed as the primary damage. Visible rear-end body damage, including the missing rear bumper cover, deformed rear door, and damaged rear corner areas, supports the stated rear-end damage classification. The salvage certificate status itself cannot be verified from exterior photographs. The rear bumper cover is missing, exposing lower mounting areas and inner components. A detached rear bumper assembly is also shown on the ground, with broken or separated mounting areas. The lower section of the right rear cargo door has a broad dent with pronounced horizontal creasing and deformation near its bottom edge. Body material and exterior trim are missing from the lower right rear corner, leaving inner panels and mounting points exposed. The left rear cargo-side panel, above and behind the rear wheel, has a large irregular dent with multiple sharp creases. Its lower section near the rear corner appears open or missing. The left rear lower corner also lacks its exterior bumper and corner covering, with exposed inner surfaces and separated panel edges visible. The findings indicate extensive collision damage concentrated around the rear structure and exterior body components. No assessment of mechanical, electrical, structural alignment, or underbody condition is provided; a thorough physical inspection and repair estimate are recommended before purchase. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2020 Mercedes-Benz Metris cargo van with rear-wheel drive/4x2 configuration, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline M274 engine, and a reported manufacturing location in Vitoria, Spain. NHTSA recall records list several campaigns associated with 2020 Mercedes-Benz Metris vehicles. These include recalls involving the emergency-call communication software, brake components, fuel-hose connections, the infotainment/rearview-camera connection, and, for certain right-hand-drive vehicles, the brake system and air-bag control module. Some campaigns apply only to specific configurations or production groups, so recall applicability and completion should be confirmed by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA before operation.
