2019 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 major visible damage is concentrated on the left front side, including the missing left front door, fender, headlamp, mirror, and window glass. The left front door is missing, leaving the door opening, hinges, latch area, wiring, and interior exposed. The left front fender and headlamp assembly are also absent, exposing the wheelhouse, inner body structure, and an open cavity beside the grille. The left front side mirror and window glass are missing. A large opening is visible at the upper left corner of the front bumper, with inner components exposed. The lower sill or rocker area below the front door opening has exposed mounting points and visibly abraded surfaces. Detached parts are present on the ground beside the vehicle, including the headlamp assembly, side mirror, window glass, exterior trim, door-related components, and wiring. Small green-tinted glass fragments are scattered among these components. The findings document visible exterior and component damage only; the condition of concealed structural, mechanical, electrical, restraint, and suspension systems requires physical inspection.
