2018 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 C300

This 2018 Mercedes-Benz C 300 is listed with an auction primary-damage classification of “Front End.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification, with substantial damage at the left front bumper and adjacent components. The left front bumper cover is severely broken, detached, and hanging away from the vehicle. The lower bumper edge is cracked and separated, while internal components, brackets, and mounting parts are exposed below and beside the left headlamp. The left front bumper-side and wheel-arch trim are missing, leaving the liner material and internal mounting components visible. A loose white strip is also visible below the headlamp area. The provided findings do not establish the condition of the underlying structure, suspension, steering, cooling system, lighting components, or other mechanical parts; these areas require physical inspection. The driver and front-passenger frontal airbags are visibly deployed. The driver’s airbag cushion is hanging from the steering wheel, and airbag fabric is deployed from the front passenger dashboard area. The restraint system, seat belts, airbag modules, sensors, clockspring, and related control systems should be professionally inspected and replaced or repaired as required before the vehicle is operated. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C300 sedan with a turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine, a seven-speed automatic transmission, and production in the United States. The decoded data does not specify the drivetrain. NHTSA records provided for this vehicle make, model, and year include multiple recalls, covering areas such as frontal airbags, passenger airbag status, front seat-belt retraction, emergency-call communication software, headlight adjustment, the steering rack, the 12-volt battery and its mounting or wiring, and roof-panel bonding on vehicles equipped with a panoramic sunroof. Some campaigns apply only to specific body styles, drivetrains, equipment, or production configurations. Recall completion and applicability should be confirmed by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer before purchase, particularly because the vehicle has deployed airbags and front-end collision damage.
