2019 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 C300

The auction lists the primary damage as “Front & Rear.” Stage 1’s photo assessment supports visible front and rear exterior damage: the front bumper, grille, and both headlamp assemblies are missing, while the rear bumper cover and associated corner trim are missing or broken. At the front, the absent bumper cover exposes the reinforcement bar, radiator area, and lower front components. The central grille and grille trim are also missing, and both headlamp assemblies are absent. Sections of the front wheel-arch and bumper-side liners are missing or displaced, leaving the inner front corners exposed. The removed front bumper cover has extensive cracking, torn plastic around the upper grille opening, and prominent abrasion marks. A detached bumper lighting or trim assembly has damaged plastic and exposed mounting points. At the rear, the bumper cover is absent across the vehicle’s width, exposing bumper mounting areas, lower body sections, and exhaust outlets. Both rear bumper corners and lower trim areas are broken or missing, with fractured edges, exposed brackets, and visible internal components. The lower rear-left corner also has exposed metal and plastic components, while the rear bumper side supports and cover sections are missing beside the rear wheel. The VIN decodes as a 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C300 sedan with rear-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder engine, and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States. Official NHTSA recall records provided for this vehicle include campaigns involving the steering rack, forward-collision radar software, the 12-volt battery mounting bracket, front seat-belt retraction, emergency-call communication software or activation, panoramic-sunroof front-panel bonding, LED headlight adjustment, the fuel rail and injectors, and rearview-camera software. Recall completion status is not provided; this should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer before purchase. Given the missing front lighting and extensive bumper-area damage, the front lighting, safety sensors, wiring, cooling components, structural mounting points, and all related driver-assistance systems should be physically inspected before repair or road use.
