2021 MERCEDES-BENZ S 580 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as “Front & Rear.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim: front lower bumper damage is visible, while the rear bumper, rear corner, and quarter-panel areas show extensive damage and missing components. This remains an auction damage classification and should not be treated as a complete assessment of the vehicle’s condition. The vehicle is a 2021 Mercedes-Benz S 580 sedan, VIN W1K6G7GB6MA039381. Factory data identifies a gasoline 4.0-litre V8 engine (M176), nine-speed automatic transmission, left-hand drive, and German assembly. The vehicle has extensive collision-related damage at both ends and along the right rear side. The front windshield, rear window, and multiple side-glass panels are missing, leaving the openings exposed. Airbags are visibly deployed inside the cabin, including along the roof and side areas, with loose restraint or airbag components near the roof and dashboard. The right rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area show pronounced creasing and deformation around the rear lamp. Additional severe deformation is present at the right rear corner and the transition between the quarter panel and bumper mounting area, with internal structure exposed. The rear bumper cover and outer trim are missing, exposing the reinforcement beam, internal components, mounting areas, and wiring. One rear lamp assembly is also missing. Light scuffing and scraped paint are visible on the lower section of the right rear door. At the front, the lower bumper and grille area have cracked and broken plastic, separated trim, displaced grille sections, and an open gap exposing internal components. A long section of lower bumper trim is detached and hanging below the front fascia. The available findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, suspension, steering, brakes, electrical systems, chassis alignment, or other hidden components. The vehicle should be considered in need of substantial structural, body, glazing, restraint-system, electrical, and safety-system inspection and repair before road use. A complete physical inspection, including diagnostic scanning and checks for hidden damage, is strongly recommended. NHTSA records list the following recalls for applicable 2021 Mercedes-Benz S-Class/S 580 vehicles: a fuel-pump shutdown issue that may cause loss of drive power; communication-module software issues that may disable emergency calling; an engine-control software issue that may cause an S 580 engine to overheat or stall; and a front-brake-hose issue that may cause a brake-fluid leak. Recall applicability and completion should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz before purchase.
