2018 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 C300

The auction lists the primary damage as “Right Side.” However, Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence does not support this claim: the clearly visible damage is concentrated on the vehicle’s left side, with no comparable right-side damage visible in the provided views. The documented damage includes extensive dark paint transfer, abrasion lines, and broad scuffing on the left rear bumper cover and left rear corner. The left rear quarter panel, above and ahead of the rear wheel, has a localized dent or crease with scraped paint and dark transfer marks. The left rear door shows several long horizontal and diagonal scratches with paint transfer. The left front door also has multiple diagonal scrape marks and a dark gouge across the lower-middle outer panel; the surface appears slightly irregular in this area, indicating localized deformation. The instrument cluster shows an illuminated check-engine warning indicator. The available finding does not identify the underlying fault, so diagnostic scanning and a complete mechanical inspection are recommended before purchase. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan/C300, manufactured in the United States. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline M274 engine, listed with turbocharging and approximately 241 horsepower, paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission. The drivetrain is not specified in the supplied data. The provided NHTSA records list multiple recalls for certain 2018 C300 and related C-Class vehicles. The affected systems include communication-module software and emergency calling, seat-belt retraction, air-bag and occupant-classification systems, headlight adjustment, steering components on applicable rear-wheel-drive versions, battery mounting and electrical protection, rear-window bonding, and roof-panel bonding on vehicles with the relevant configuration or prior repair. Recall applicability and completion status for this specific vehicle should be confirmed by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer before registration or use.
