2021 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 4MATIC

The auction record lists the vehicle as salvage with left-front primary damage. The visible evidence supports left-front damage, including a missing left exterior mirror, damage to the left-front wheel rim, and detached front underside components. However, the photos cannot confirm the salvage-title status itself. The left exterior mirror assembly is missing from the front door. Internal components and wiring are exposed at the mounting area. The left-front alloy wheel has multiple broad scrapes and gouges along its outer rim edge and face. Light, irregular paint scuffing is also visible near the left-front hood and fender. Multiple plastic underbody and inner-fender components are detached and shown on the ground beneath the front of the vehicle. These parts have torn or broken edges, and some mounting points are separated from the panels. This should be treated as a significant repair area requiring inspection of the surrounding underbody, mounting points, suspension, steering, wheel, and related systems. The condition and operation of the mirror, exposed wiring, lighting, driver-assistance systems, and any components affected by the front-end damage should also be verified. The VIN decodes as a 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan, C300-4M trim, with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, seven-speed automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in East London, South Africa. The supplied decode does not specify the drivetrain beyond the C300-4M trim designation. Official recall records identify several campaigns applicable to this model year and model range. These include a fuel-pump recall that may cause loss of drive power, software recalls affecting the emergency-call/eCall system, a front seat-belt retraction recall, and a rearview-camera display software recall. The applicable remedies are generally dealer inspection, software updates, or fuel-pump replacement at no charge. Recall completion should be verified directly with Mercedes-Benz using the VIN before purchase and before the vehicle is returned to service.
