2015 MERCEDES-BENZ ML ML350

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz ML is listed with a salvage certificate of title and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end damage supports the stated FRONT END claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The vehicle has severe damage concentrated at the front. The grille and central fascia are missing, the bumper cover is detached and lying in front of the vehicle, and the internal radiator and other cooling components are exposed. Broken and displaced plastic components hang below the cooling modules. The front-right headlamp assembly is cracked and displaced, with internal components exposed. The hood’s front edge and adjacent front panels show deformation, uneven edges, and enlarged or irregular gaps. Additional deformation is visible at the front-left fender and adjoining hood corner. These findings indicate that the front-end structure, cooling system, lighting, body panels, and mounting components require thorough inspection and repair assessment. The driver steering-wheel airbag, lower driver-side dashboard airbag, and roof-side airbag cushions are visibly deployed, indicating that the restraint system will require evaluation and replacement of affected components as necessary. Minor cosmetic scuffing is present on the right rear quarter panel near the wheel arch. No other findings were provided. The vehicle should not be considered road-ready based solely on the available findings; a complete structural, mechanical, cooling-system, electrical, and supplemental-restraint-system inspection is recommended before purchase or repair. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2015 Mercedes-Benz ML-Class ML350 SUV, equipped with a 3.5-liter gasoline six-cylinder engine. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz USA in Vance, Alabama. Drive type and transmission details were not provided in the decode.
