2015 MERCEDES-BENZ ML ML350

The vehicle is a 2015 Mercedes-Benz ML-Class ML350 SUV with a gasoline 3.5-liter V6 engine. NHTSA VIN decoding identifies it as manufactured by Mercedes-Benz USA in Vance, Alabama. The decoded safety equipment includes front airbags, side airbags for the first and second rows, curtain airbags, seat-belt pretensioners, and direct tire-pressure monitoring. Drivetrain and transmission details were not provided. The auction record lists a salvage certificate of title and identifies the primary damage as “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the auction’s “FRONT END” classification. However, the salvage-certificate title status cannot be confirmed from vehicle photographs. The front end has severe visible collision damage. The front grille is missing, leaving the radiator exposed behind a large opening in the center of the fascia. The bumper cover has a substantial missing section in the upper center, along with jagged broken openings at the lower outer areas. Several bumper and trim edges are incomplete or separated, and the lower bumper trim and adjacent black components are detached from the bumper assembly. The hood has an uneven contour along its leading edge and localized scraping with chipped or missing white paint near the front center. A Mercedes grille, black front support or trim panels, and other front-end components are detached and lying in front of the vehicle. Repairs will require replacement or restoration of multiple front-end components, including the grille, bumper cover sections, lower trim, and other detached support or trim pieces. The condition of the radiator, front support structure, lighting, cooling system, sensors, mounting points, and any damage behind the visible exterior should be physically inspected before purchase.
