2018 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 4MATIC

This 2018 Mercedes-Benz C 300 is listed with a salvage title and an auction primary-damage designation of “Front End.” The visible evidence supports the front-end claim to a limited extent: the front bumper has a missing lower intake insert and visible scuffing, but no major front-end deformation is visible. The right lower intake insert or grille piece is missing from the front bumper, leaving an open cavity with internal components visible. Several dark surface scuff marks are also present on the painted bumper near the right lower intake and wheel-arch area. The recorded findings do not establish the condition of components behind the bumper, the cooling system, sensors, mounting points, or the vehicle’s mechanical and safety systems. A hands-on inspection is recommended before purchase. The VIN decode identifies a 2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and a nine-speed transmission. The decode lists the vehicle as manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in East London, South Africa. Drive type is not provided in the available decode. NHTSA records show multiple recalls associated with 2018 C-Class and C300 variants. These include recalls involving emergency-call communication software, front seat-belt retraction, headlight adjustment, the driver air-bag grounding system, passenger air-bag status display, the 12-volt battery mounting and wiring, steering components on specified configurations, and roof-panel bonding on vehicles equipped with a panoramic sunroof. Certain body-style-specific records also concern seatback locks and rear-window or beltline-trim bonding. Recall applicability and completion status should be confirmed with Mercedes-Benz using the full VIN before registration or road use.
