2014 MERCEDES-BENZ ML ML550 4-MATIC

The auction record lists this vehicle as having a salvage title with FRONT END as the primary damage classification. These are auction designations and are not independently verified here. Visible damage is concentrated at the front of the vehicle. The hood panel has moderate upward deformation and creasing along its leading edge and both front corners, with irregular gaps above the headlights and front fascia. The central front grille assembly and related grille components are missing, exposing the radiator and other cooling-system components. Additional black plastic grille or trim pieces are broken, loose, and hanging across the lower portion of the opening. Stage 1 reports that the visible bent hood, missing grille, and broken grille components support the auction’s FRONT END primary-damage claim. Stage 1 also reports that the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photos. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2014 Mercedes-Benz ML-Class ML550 4MATIC SUV with all-wheel drive, a 4.7-liter gasoline V8 engine, and a U.S. assembly location. The provided findings do not assess mechanical, structural, cooling-system, lighting, restraint-system, or drivability condition. A comprehensive physical inspection is recommended, including inspection behind the exposed front opening and verification of the hood, grille, radiator, front-end structure, and related systems.
