2018 MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate and a FRONT END primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the stated FRONT END claim. The salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed or contradicted from exterior photographs. Observed damage is concentrated at the front. The left corner of the black front bumper has extensive abrasion, heavy scraping, and a visible split or torn section along the lower edge. The area where the left headlamp meets the grille has an irregular open gap, with damaged or missing edge material. The hood shows a pronounced central crease and uneven raised areas across the forward section, and its front edge does not have a uniform contour above the grille. The lower-middle sections of the rear cargo doors have multiple shallow dents and crease-like deformations with surface scuffing. Inside, the steering-wheel rim shows worn and discolored surface material, particularly around the upper and side grip areas. An amber check-engine warning is illuminated in the instrument cluster. The underlying engine or emissions-system fault is not identified by the available findings and should be diagnosed before purchase. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter cargo van, Series 3500, with rear-wheel drive (4x2), a 3.0-liter six-cylinder diesel engine, and a 170.27-inch wheelbase. The vehicle was manufactured in Germany. The decoder notes that the model year may require reconfirmation, although the supplied VIN decode identifies it as a 2018 model. No transmission details were provided. A physical inspection should verify the condition of the front-end structure, cooling and lighting systems, hood and bumper mounting points, engine/emissions systems, and cargo-door operation.
