2015 MERCEDES-BENZ ML ML350

The vehicle is a 2015 Mercedes-Benz ML-Class ML350 SUV, decoded with a 3.5-liter gasoline V6 engine. NHTSA data identifies it as manufactured by Mercedes-Benz USA in Vance, Alabama. The VIN decode does not provide drivetrain or transmission details. The auction record lists the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” with “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated front-end classification because the front bumper, grille, and lower front fascia are missing. Stage 1 also notes additional visible damage to the right rear quarter panel and rear bumper. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. At the front, the bumper cover, grille, lower fascia sections, and corner trim are missing. This leaves the bumper reinforcement, cooling components, wiring, mounting structures, and other internal areas exposed. Several bumper-side mounting plastics at the front right corner near the headlamp and wheel arch are fractured or broken. Detached front bumper and grille components are also present separately from the vehicle. At the rear, the bumper cover and lower trim/valance are missing across the lower section. The rear bumper reinforcement, mounting structures, internal components, and open mounting points are exposed. A detached rear bumper cover is visible separately from the vehicle. The right rear quarter panel has creasing and uneven deformation above and ahead of the rear wheel arch. Inside the vehicle, the driver’s seat outer bolster shows creasing and light surface wear, with no visible tear or opening. No known failure-pattern flags were provided. The vehicle will require substantial front and rear exterior reconstruction, including replacement or repair of the missing bumper assemblies, fascia and grille components, mounting hardware, and any exposed or damaged associated components. A complete inspection of the cooling system, wiring, lighting, structural mounting points, sensors, and underlying mechanical systems is recommended before purchase.
