2018 MERCEDES-BENZ S 450 S450

The auction record identifies the vehicle as salvage with “Right Front” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible collision damage is concentrated at the right-front corner and supports the stated primary-damage code; however, the salvage status itself cannot be confirmed from the photos. The main damage is concentrated on the right-front exterior. The bumper cover is severely torn and partially detached, with a large section hanging outward and openings that expose components behind it. Sections of the lower bumper and outer trim are missing. The right-front hood corner is creased and deformed, with an uneven gap near the adjacent fender and grille. The right-front fender is severely crushed and creased around the wheel opening and front corner, with broken edges and exposed components. A large molded black plastic panel is also shown detached and lying beside the vehicle, apparently from the underside or front-compartment area. The left-front bumper corner has minor scuffing and paint transfer. Several light scratches and scuff marks are visible on the right-front and right-rear door panels. The provided findings do not assess mechanical operation, suspension or steering components, cooling and electrical systems, airbags, wheel alignment, or possible structural damage. A thorough physical inspection and diagnostic scan are recommended before purchase, along with verification that all damaged or missing components can be properly repaired or replaced. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class S 450 sedan, built in Germany. It has a 3.0-liter turbocharged gasoline six-cylinder M276 engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The decoder lists standard equipment including ABS, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, and a rear-visibility system. The supplied NHTSA recall records include campaigns affecting certain 2018 S 450 vehicles. These concern the emergency-call communication module, which may be deactivated or fail to report the correct vehicle location, and the bonding of the front roof panel on vehicles equipped with a panoramic sunroof. Recall 21V058000 also covers certain S-Class vehicles for an eCall location-reporting software issue. Recall completion and applicability to this specific VIN should be confirmed with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer before use.
