2013 MERCEDES-BENZ ML ML350 4-MATIC

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title and identifies the primary damage as “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible dents, scrapes, and paint transfer on the left side support the auction’s “SIDE” damage classification. However, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The documented exterior damage is concentrated on the left rear section. The lower portion of the left rear door has moderate creasing and indentation, with dark scuffing and scraped paint near the rear edge. The left rear quarter panel, immediately forward of the rear wheel opening, also has a moderate dent and dark abrasion marks. The left rear bumper corner shows moderate abrasion, brown-colored paint transfer, and scraped surface finish. The outer edge of the left rear alloy wheel has minor scuffing and scraped finish. Inside, the steering-wheel rim shows minor surface wear and discoloration on the grip areas. No other damage or mechanical findings are provided, and the available information does not establish the condition of the vehicle’s structural, suspension, drivetrain, or safety systems. The VIN decodes as a 2013 Mercedes-Benz ML-Class ML350 4MATIC sport utility vehicle with all-wheel drive, a 3.5-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and a U.S. manufacturing location.
