2015 MERCEDES-BENZ ML ML350

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and identifies SIDE as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible denting and creasing on the side door and rocker area supports the SIDE damage claim, while the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The vehicle has a deployed side-curtain airbag, with restraint fabric hanging from the roof edge beside the rear seating area on the upper left side of the passenger compartment. A red airbag warning indicator is illuminated in the instrument cluster, indicating that the restraint system requires inspection and likely repair. The visible-side rear door has a pronounced inward dent and sharp horizontal and diagonal creases in its lower section. Scuffed paint is present along the lower door and adjacent rocker area. These findings are recorded in two images and appear to describe the same damage. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2015 Mercedes-Benz ML-Class SUV, trim ML350, equipped with a 3.5-liter gasoline V6 engine. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz USA in Vance, Alabama. Factory data also lists front airbags, side airbags for the first and second rows, seat-belt pretensioners, and load limiters. A complete physical inspection should be carried out to assess the airbag system, related restraint components, door and rocker structure, and any damage not visible in the available findings.
