2020 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 C300

This 2020 Mercedes-Benz C 300 is an auction vehicle classified with “Rear” as the primary damage. The Stage 1 photo review states that the visible evidence supports this classification: the rear bumper cover and both rear tail-lamp assemblies are missing, with rear components exposed or detached. The rear damage is severe. The bumper cover, lower rear fascia trim, and both tail lamps are absent, exposing the bumper reinforcement, mounting points, and other underlying components. Detached bumper, lamp, trim, and mounting pieces are visible behind the vehicle. A heat-shield panel is also hanging outward from the right rear lower corner. These areas will require a detailed inspection for damage to the reinforcement, body structure, wiring, sensors, exhaust-related components, and mounting points before repair estimates can be finalized. Minor cosmetic findings include light scuffing on the lower front bumper near the wheel opening and a chipped section on the lower edge of the visible key-fob casing. No additional damage findings were provided. The VIN decodes as a 2020 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C300 sedan with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, seven-speed automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in South Africa. The supplied NHTSA records list several recalls affecting certain 2020 C-Class or C300 vehicles. These include recalls involving the emergency-call communication module, turbocharger oil-line fasteners, front seat-belt retraction, roof-panel bonding on vehicles equipped with a panoramic sunroof, LED headlight adjustment, and rearview-camera software. Recall applicability and completion should be confirmed by an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer using the VIN before purchase or road use.
