2014 MERCEDES-BENZ ML

The auction record lists the vehicle’s condition as “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE” and the primary damage as “MINOR DENT/SCRATCHES.” Stage 1 reports that the visible photos support minor exterior bumper scuffs and scratches but also show a prominent tear in the driver’s seat cushion; therefore, the primary-damage code only partially describes the visible damage. The “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE” condition cannot be verified from photos. The exterior damage consists of several dark scuff marks and light scratches on the left rear bumper corner, including a scrape and surface abrasion on the lower-left rear bumper. Light abrasions are also present along the lower front bumper and lower trim edges. These findings are classified as minor cosmetic damage. The driver’s seat has a large tear in the leather upholstery at the lower outer front portion of the cushion, with light-colored foam exposed. This is a moderate interior condition issue and may require upholstery repair or seat-cushion replacement. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2014 Mercedes-Benz ML-Class SUV, specifically an ML350 4MATIC BlueTEC for the U.S./Canada market. It is equipped with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder diesel engine, and was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz of North America in Vance, United States. The supplied VIN data does not specify the transmission.
