2014 MERCEDES-BENZ ML ML350

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title (“CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE”) with “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-left bumper, fender, headlamp, and hood damage supports the auction’s FRONT END code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photos. The front-left headlamp assembly is severely fractured, with jagged damage along its inner and outer edges and an open irregular gap beside the fender. The front-left fender is severely creased and deformed around the headlamp and wheel arch, with torn areas and missing material along the corner edge. The front-left bumper cover has severe cracking, scraping, and a separated edge. A section of the black wheel-arch trim or liner is missing, leaving an exposed opening above and behind the wheel. The front-left hood edge is moderately creased and has an uneven contour adjacent to the damaged headlamp and fender. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2014 Mercedes-Benz ML-Class ML350 SUV, equipped with a 3.5-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine. It was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz of North America in the United States. The decode identifies front and side airbags for the first and second rows, seat-belt pretensioners and load limiters, and direct tire-pressure monitoring. The drive type and transmission details were not provided. A complete inspection should verify the condition of the underlying front-end structure, lighting and safety systems, cooling components, wheel-arch area, and alignment before repair or purchase.
