2014 MERCEDES-BENZ ML ML350 4-MATIC

The auction records list the vehicle as “CERT OF SALVAGE > 75% DAMAGE” with “FRONT END” as the primary damage category. The Stage 1 photo review indicates that the visible front-end damage supports the listed primary-damage category, but does not support the stated damage extent of more than 75%; the vehicle appears largely complete, with localized damage visible at the front and rear. The front bumper cover has moderate damage at the visible corner and lower grille opening, including cracked and irregular edges. An open section exposes dark components behind the bumper. The adjacent front fender, behind the visible wheel arch, has a moderate area of extensive paint loss and abrasion, with light-colored underlying material exposed. At the rear, the left bumper corner and wheel-arch area have a pronounced crease, scraping, light-colored transfer marks, and other irregular surface damage. This is assessed as moderate rear bumper-cover damage. No mechanical, structural, or underbody condition can be determined from the listed findings. A physical inspection is recommended, including checks behind the damaged bumper areas, mounting points, lighting, sensors, cooling components, suspension, alignment, and safety systems. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2014 Mercedes-Benz ML-Class ML350 4MATIC SUV with all-wheel drive, a 3.5-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and a GVWR in the 6,001–7,000 lb range.
