2017 MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate and the auction’s primary damage classification is FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end damage supports the auction’s FRONT END classification; however, the salvage certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is identified by the VIN data as a 4x2 cargo van with a 3.0-liter OM642 six-cylinder diesel engine. The vehicle was manufactured in Germany. The front end has extensive collision damage. The hood is severely crushed and heavily creased, while the front-left bodywork, fascia, grille, bumper, and cooling-area surround are broken or missing in multiple sections. The radiator area, engine-compartment perimeter, wiring, mounting components, and other internal parts are exposed. The front-right headlamp is cracked, displaced, and partially separated, and the bumper is torn and displaced. The tubular front brush guard is also distorted, particularly along its lower and right-side sections. The front-left door’s leading edge and adjacent hinge area are crushed and torn, with inner material and wiring exposed. The front-left tire appears deflated or severely compressed, with the wheel close to the ground. The roof panel above the windshield has a pronounced crease with localized torn or scraped paint. The windshield is extensively shattered, with spiderweb cracking across nearly the entire glass area and loose fragments visible along the dashboard edge. Both the driver and passenger airbags are deployed. Inside the cabin, the driver-side dashboard and instrument-panel trim are broken and displaced, while center-console and lower-dashboard trim pieces are loose or separated, exposing wiring and other components. The reported damage indicates a major frontal impact. Repairs would likely require comprehensive inspection of the body structure, front suspension and wheel area, cooling system, engine-compartment components, wiring, restraint systems, dashboard, windshield, and vehicle electronics. The vehicle should not be considered roadworthy without professional assessment and substantial repair.
