2019 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as Front End. Stage 1’s assessment supports this claim: the front bumper, grille, and related fascia components are missing or damaged, and the hood is visibly deformed. The front bumper cover and central grille are absent, exposing the front reinforcement bar, cooling components, wiring, and mounting structures. Additional black plastic trim and bumper-related pieces are broken or detached, with loose sections hanging near both front corners. The Mercedes-Benz emblem is also detached and hanging in front of the exposed cooling area. The hood has broad deformation along its front edge, including a raised and creased section toward the center-right. The trunk-lid spoiler or upper trim has extensive scraping and chipped coating along its length, with sections appearing broken or missing. A long, curved exterior trim component is detached and lying beside the vehicle. Both the driver and front passenger airbags are visibly deployed, indicating a significant collision event and requiring inspection and replacement of the restraint-system components before the vehicle can be considered roadworthy. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan, C300-4MATIC trim, with all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States. NHTSA records list multiple safety recalls associated with 2019 C-Class/C300 vehicles. These include recalls involving emergency-call communication software, the roof panel on vehicles with a panoramic sunroof, the steering rack on certain rear-wheel-drive configurations, the Active Brake Assist radar software, the 12-volt battery mounting bracket, front seat-belt retraction, communication-module activation, LED headlight adjustment, the fuel rail and injectors, and the rearview-camera display. Applicability and completion should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz before purchase, particularly because some recalls apply only to specific configurations or equipment. The visible damage is extensive and concentrated primarily at the front, with additional rear spoiler and exterior-trim damage and deployed airbags. A complete physical inspection is recommended to assess possible damage to the underlying structure, cooling system, wiring, sensors, steering and suspension components, and airbag and seat-belt systems; these areas cannot be confirmed from the supplied findings alone.
