2019 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 C300

The auction lists the primary damage as “Left Side.” Stage 1 reports that visible damage is concentrated on the vehicle’s left rear side—including the left rear door, quarter panel, tail lamp, and curtain airbag area—supporting that auction classification. The 2019 Mercedes-Benz C 300 is identified by VIN decoding as a C-Class sedan with rear-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The most significant visible damage is at the left rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area. The panel is severely crushed and creased, with distorted contours and scraped paint. The left rear door has multiple pronounced dents and creases, including deformation near its rear edge and lower central section, along with dark scuff marks. The left rear tail lamp has a large section of missing or broken lens material, exposing internal components. The rear bumper has lighter linear scuffs and surface abrasions, mainly on the left side. A curtain airbag is visibly deployed or extended along the left roof-side area above the side windows, including the area above the left rear window. The restraint system, associated trim, roof-side structure, wiring, and crash sensors require a complete inspection and proper replacement or calibration before the vehicle can be considered safe for road use. Mechanical, suspension, alignment, and hidden structural damage cannot be determined from the supplied findings. NHTSA records list multiple recalls applicable to the 2019 C-Class/C 300 range, involving the emergency-call communication system, roof-panel bonding on vehicles equipped with a panoramic sunroof, steering-rack hardware on specified rear-wheel-drive models, Active Brake Assist radar software on vehicles with the relevant driver-assistance equipment, the 12-volt battery mounting bracket, front seat-belt retraction, headlight adjustment, fuel rail and injector leakage, and rearview-camera software. Recall applicability and completion should be confirmed using the VIN and Mercedes-Benz service records before purchase.
