2019 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as rear damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, specifically noting the missing rear tail lamps, rear bumper deformation and separation, and deformation around the trunk and right rear quarter panel. The left and right rear tail lamp assemblies are missing, leaving open lamp cavities with internal components and purple protective material visible. The lower central edge of the trunk lid is creased and pushed inward above the bumper. The rear bumper cover is deformed across the center and right side, with an uneven lower gap and a separated lower edge. Additional deformation and creasing are visible on the right rear quarter panel next to the missing tail lamp opening. The lower bumper edge is separated from the body across the rear, creating an open, irregular gap. No mechanical, electrical, interior, or underbody findings were provided. The supplied findings do not confirm the condition of the rear body structure, lighting wiring, parking sensors or cameras, trunk alignment, exhaust system, or other components that may have been affected. A complete physical inspection and functional testing will be required before repair or road use.

NHTSA records list safety campaigns potentially covering this model and model year, including recalls involving eCall communication-module software, roof-panel bonding on vehicles with a panoramic sunroof, steering racks on specified rear-wheel-drive vehicles, radar-based Active Brake Assist software on vehicles equipped with the Driver Assistance Package, the 12-volt battery mounting bracket, front seat-belt retraction, headlight adjustment, fuel-rail and injector leakage, and rearview-camera display software. Applicability and completion should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA, particularly because some campaigns depend on drivetrain or equipment configuration.
