2015 MERCEDES-BENZ ML ML350

This 2015 Mercedes-Benz ML-Class is listed with a salvage title and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this unverified auction claim, with substantial damage observed to the front hood, bumper, grille, headlamp, fender, and cooling-area fascia. The front hood is severely folded and heavily creased, with torn metal at the damaged corner above the headlamp. The adjacent front fender is crushed and torn around the wheel arch and headlamp area, exposing internal components. The main grille is missing, and the damaged-side headlamp assembly is broken or absent. The front bumper cover is detached, broken into separate sections, and hanging from the vehicle; a large section is also visible on the ground. The front fascia is missing around the radiator and condenser area, leaving cooling components, support parts, and broken plastic exposed. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag has deployed, with fabric hanging over the steering column and into the driver’s footwell area. According to the VIN decode, this is a U.S.-built 2015 Mercedes-Benz ML-Class ML350 SUV with a 3.5-liter gasoline V6 engine. The VIN data identifies front driver and passenger airbags, side airbags for the first and second rows, and seat-belt pretensioners. The available findings document significant visible front-end collision damage and an airbag deployment; the condition of mechanical, structural, electrical, and safety systems not visible in these findings remains to be verified through a comprehensive inspection.
