2014 MERCEDES-BENZ ML ML350 4-MATIC

The vehicle is a 2014 Mercedes-Benz ML-Class ML350 4MATIC with an AWD system, a 3.5-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and SUV body style. It was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz of North America in the United States. The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title and identifies the primary damage as front-end damage. Based on Stage 1’s photo assessment, the visible damage supports the stated front-end primary-damage claim. However, the salvage-title status cannot be verified from the photographs. The front bumper cover is severely damaged, detached, and missing across the center and right-front areas. The central grille and portions of the front fascia are absent, exposing components behind the bumper area. Both front corners and the lower fascia contain broken, displaced, and separated plastic components. Broken mounting parts, loose wiring, and displaced components are also visible below the engine bay near the lower front and radiator-support area. The hood has moderate deformation, including uneven gaps, irregular raised sections, and damage around the front edge and corners. The front fender adjacent to the headlamp shows creasing and deformation near the wheel-arch area. The vehicle will require substantial front-end repair, including replacement or repair of the bumper, grille, fascia, mounting components, and associated front-area parts. The condition of the underlying cooling system, radiator support, lighting, wiring, structural components, and mechanical systems is not established by these findings and should be checked through a detailed physical inspection before purchase.
