2022 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 4MATIC

This 2022 Mercedes-Benz C 300 is listed with a Salvage condition and Front End as the auction’s primary-damage classification. The Front End claim is supported by the reported visible evidence, including detached, cracked, and broken front bumper components. The Salvage title status cannot be confirmed from the provided images alone. The primary damage is concentrated at the lower front bumper and front-end trim. The lower bumper cover is displaced with an open separation along its lower edge, and a long black trim piece is detached and lying on the ground. Multiple plastic front-end components are also separated from the vehicle; some have broken or irregular edges, deformation, and surface abrasion. The lower bumper corner has an open crack with separated plastic edges, while the lower trim is loose and extends outward and downward. Portions of the plastic trim around the left front engine-bay opening are missing, leaving components exposed. The VIN decode identifies the vehicle as a C 300 4MATIC sedan with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder M264 engine, and an automatic transmission. The listed engine output is 255 horsepower. The vehicle was manufactured in South Africa. The provided recall data lists several campaigns applicable to 2022 C 300 vehicles, including fuel-pump shutdown concerns, electrical wiring and pre-fuse-box overheating risks, a driver-side front seat-belt tensioner cover issue, and a driver’s door-lock microswitch issue. Recall repairs should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA, and any outstanding campaigns should be completed by an authorized dealer before the vehicle is placed into service.
