2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as rear damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, with extensive crushing, tearing, and missing sections across the trunk lid, rear body panels, and rear bumper. The rear of the vehicle has severe collision damage. The trunk lid is heavily crushed, with deep folds, a distorted upper edge and contour, and significant deformation around the emblem, trim, and lower edge. The rear body panels beneath and beside the trunk opening are sharply buckled, torn, and fractured, with irregular openings and exposed inner surfaces. The left rear quarter and trunk-side area are also severely crushed and folded. The rear bumper cover is extensively fractured and partially detached. Large sections of the center and left side are missing or displaced, while lower trim and exhaust-finish pieces are detached or hanging below the vehicle. The bumper reinforcement bar and internal components are exposed, and electrical wiring is visible and hanging in the left rear bumper area. This damage is concentrated at the rear, but the condition of the underlying body structure, bumper mounting points, lighting, exhaust system, wiring, sensors, trunk mechanism, and other components cannot be determined from the provided findings. A thorough physical inspection and structural assessment will be required before repair or road use.
