2016 MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title, with “REAR END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible dents in the rear doors, taped rear lamp area, and damaged rear bumper support this stated rear-end damage claim. The salvage-title status itself could not be confirmed from exterior photographs. The left rear tail-lamp area is covered with multiple strips of red tape, so the condition of the underlying lens cannot be fully assessed. Both rear cargo doors have visible dents and creasing, with the most pronounced deformation on the lower and central sections of the left door. The lower right door also has dents and scuff marks. The left corner of the black rear bumper cover shows pronounced scuffing and an irregular opening or gap. Several light linear scuffs and areas of discoloration are visible on the white rear side body panel and the adjacent lower side molding. The provided findings do not include an assessment of the vehicle’s mechanical systems, underbody, or internal structure; these areas should be inspected before purchase, along with the taped tail lamp and rear-door alignment. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 cargo van, built in Germany. It is identified as a rear-wheel-drive/4x2 vehicle with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder diesel engine and an approximately 8,001–9,000 lb GVWR classification.
