2020 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 C300

The auction lists the primary damage as front-end damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim: the front bumper cover, grille, and both installed headlamp assemblies are missing, while one removed headlamp and the detached bumper cover are visibly broken. The front end is extensively exposed, including the bumper reinforcement, radiator assemblies, internal mounting structures, and other front-end components. The detached painted bumper cover has a cracked and broken left corner, separated lower-edge sections, and damaged mounting areas. A separate lower front fascia/underbody component is also cracked, torn, and deformed. One removed headlamp has a shattered lens and broken internal housing components. The findings document visible collision damage, but they do not establish the condition of the underlying cooling, electrical, structural, or mechanical systems. A thorough physical inspection and functional testing will be required before repair or purchase. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2020 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C300 sedan with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, a seven-speed automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in South Africa. Official NHTSA recall records provided for this model and year include recalls involving the emergency-call communication module, turbocharger oil-feed and return-line screws, front seat-belt retraction, roof-panel bonding on applicable vehicles, LED headlamp adjustment, and rearview-camera software. Recall applicability and completion should be confirmed by VIN with Mercedes-Benz before purchase, particularly because the front lighting and communication systems are affected by the documented damage.
