2016 MERCEDES-BENZ S S550-4M

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate with damage exceeding 75% and identifies the primary damage as rear-end damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the rear-end damage classification; however, the available photos do not establish that the total damage exceeds 75%. The most significant damage is concentrated at the rear. The trunk lid outer panel is severely creased and has an irregular contour around the license-plate recess, with a large open gap along its lower edge. The rear bumper cover is severely crushed and cracked at the right rear corner, with torn and displaced sections and exposed components behind it. The lower rear bumper is widely separated from the body, with broken or missing portions and dark components visible underneath. The right exhaust outlet trim area is also detached, with internal parts exposed. Several light gray linear scuff marks are visible on the front bumper near the lower grille and license-plate area. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan, trim S550-4M, equipped with a 4.7-liter gasoline V8 engine. It was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Sindelfingen, Germany. The vehicle has front and side airbags, seat-belt pretensioners and load limiters for the outboard seating positions, and direct tire-pressure monitoring. The available data does not specify the drivetrain or transmission details. A complete inspection should include the rear body structure, trunk floor, exhaust system, lighting, wiring, parking sensors or other rear assistance systems, and all components behind the damaged bumper.
