2021 MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER 907 (VS30)

The vehicle is listed with a “Certificate of Salvage – over 75% damage” condition and “SIDE” as the auction’s primary damage classification. The auction’s greater-than-75% damage claim is not confirmed by the visible evidence: Stage 1 reports that the photos support visible side damage and a deployed side curtain airbag, but do not substantiate damage exceeding 75% of the vehicle. The lower side metal beneath the doors and around the rocker area has multiple dents, creases, paint scrapes, and an uneven lower edge. Lower exterior trim is missing, leaving mounting holes and unfinished panel surfaces exposed. Inside the passenger compartment, a side curtain airbag is visibly deployed and hanging from the upper roof and side-window area. Several thin scratches and paint marks are also present on the front portion of the hood near the grille. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 cargo van with 4x2 drive, a 3.0-liter OM642 diesel engine, and a 170-inch wheelbase. The decoder identifies the vehicle as manufactured by Mercedes-Benz in the United States. No known failure-pattern flags were provided. The visible side damage, missing trim, and deployed curtain airbag should be addressed during a complete structural, restraint-system, and mechanical inspection before purchase.
