2017 MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER

The auction records list the vehicle as having “LIEN PAPERS, CLEAN TITLE” and identify the primary damage as “SIDE.” These are unverified auction designations. Stage 1 reports that the photos show cosmetic scuffs and scratches on the side panels, but no clear significant side-impact deformation; therefore, the “SIDE” damage code is not clearly supported by the visible evidence. Lien and title status cannot be verified from the photos. The visible exterior damage is primarily cosmetic. Multiple gray and dark scuffs, linear scratches, and discolored areas are present across both sides of the white cargo body, including the sliding door, lower body trim, rear side panels, and rear door edge. The rear cargo doors also show dark horizontal scuff marks, light scratches, and surface discoloration across their lower and middle sections. The extent of the damage may require refinishing or panel-specific cosmetic repairs. Inside the cab, the outer lower bolster of the driver’s seat has minor abrasion and worn material along the edge. NHTSA VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 cargo van with a 3.0-liter OM642 six-cylinder diesel engine and 4x2 drivetrain. The vehicle was manufactured in Germany. The decoder notes that the model year should be reconfirmed for greater accuracy.
