2023 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 4MATIC

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz C 300 is recorded by the auction as having a Clear condition and “Normal Wear & Tear” as the primary damage classification. These are auction designations rather than independently verified findings. Stage 1 reports that the photographs show no clearly visible collision damage or significant exterior wear; the Normal Wear & Tear classification is not contradicted by the visible evidence, while the Clear condition cannot be fully confirmed from photographs alone. No specific damage findings were provided in the assessment data. A physical inspection is still recommended to verify the vehicle’s structural condition, mechanical operation, underbody, electronics, and repair history. The VIN decodes as a C 300 4MATIC sedan with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine (Mercedes-Benz M254, four cylinders, rated at 255 hp), and production in East London, South Africa. The decoder identifies the vehicle as a passenger car and notes that some specifications may vary for non-U.S.-market vehicles. The supplied NHTSA recall records include several campaigns applicable to certain 2023 C 300 vehicles: fuel-pump shutdowns under recalls 23V445000 and 23V880000; improperly secured wiring-ground connections under 23V463000; a pre-fuse-box wiring issue under 24V446000; incorrectly manufactured 80-amp fuses under 24V115000; potentially incorrect fuse boxes installed during repairs under 25V255000; a driver-side front seat-belt-tensioner cover issue under 25V253000; and a driver’s-door-lock microswitch issue under 26V481000. The listed remedies involve inspection, repair, or replacement by an authorized dealer at no charge. Recall applicability and completion should be confirmed by checking this VIN with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA before purchase.
