2025 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 C300 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as “Rear.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, noting extensive rear-end damage. The rear bumper cover is missing across the width of the vehicle, exposing the black bumper reinforcement and underlying rear components. Both rear tail lamps are absent, leaving their mounting cavities and fastener openings exposed. The lower center of the trunk lid is severely crushed and deformed, with an irregular opening and multiple creases across the license-plate area. Both rear quarter panels and tail-lamp mounting areas show moderate deformation and creasing. The exposed rear body panel below the trunk lid also has creased and irregular surfaces, along with open mounting holes around the lamp and bumper areas. The fuel-filler door is missing, leaving the filler opening and fuel cap visible. The VIN decodes as a 2025 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 300 4MATIC sedan with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in South Africa. The provided recall records list two applicable Mercedes-Benz C-Class campaigns: recall 25V253000 concerning a potentially loose driver-side front seat-belt anchor due to an improperly installed tensioner cover, and recall 26V281000 concerning a possible infotainment control-unit reset that could cause the instrument-panel display to go blank. The available information does not confirm whether either recall has been completed on this vehicle.
