2014 MERCEDES-BENZ ML ML350 4-MATIC

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz ML-Class is listed with a salvage title, and the auction identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end collision damage supports this primary-damage classification; the salvage-title status cannot be verified from the photos. The front end has extensive severe damage. The hood is heavily crushed, with deep folds and significant deformation across the front and center sections. The front bumper cover, grille, and surrounding fascia are missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement area, radiator assembly, cooling components, and other internal structures. One headlamp assembly is missing, while the headlamp on the opposite side is displaced from its normal position. Both front corners show severe damage, including missing or displaced fender and headlamp-area panels and exposed mounting structures. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag is deployed, with additional deployed airbag fabric visible around the lower steering-column and dashboard area. The radiator and other front cooling components are directly exposed and should be inspected for impact damage, leaks, deformation, and proper mounting. The condition of the vehicle’s structure, suspension, steering, electrical systems, restraint-system components, and engine or transmission cannot be established from these findings and requires a thorough physical inspection. Minor dark scuff-like marks are visible on the rear seat cushions. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2014 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. assembly location. The vehicle is equipped with front airbags for the driver and passenger, side airbags for the first and second rows, and seat-belt pretensioners. Extensive repairs and replacement of numerous front-end and airbag-related components should be anticipated before the vehicle can be considered roadworthy.
