2018 MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE” condition and identifies “SIDE” as the primary damage code. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the SIDE classification because dents are present on the passenger-side body panels. The certificate-of-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The main damage consists of moderate denting and irregular creasing across the passenger-side sliding door and adjacent lower side panel. Additional horizontal waviness and localized depressions are visible on the passenger-side rear side panel behind the sliding door. Minor cosmetic damage includes light scuffing and abrasions on the lower front bumper cover, including both lower corners, and a small light-colored scratch on the lower-middle area of the right rear door. The driver’s seat lower cushion has moderate upholstery damage, with the covering torn open and yellow foam and underlying seat structure exposed. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 cargo van built in Germany. It is identified with rear-wheel drive/4x2, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder diesel engine, and a 144.29-inch wheelbase. The transmission type was not provided. NHTSA data lists standard ABS and electronic stability control, front and side airbags for the first row, and thorax side airbags with seat-belt pretensioners and load limiters. Physical inspection should be completed to assess the full extent of the body-panel damage and verify the condition of the seat and any concealed components.
