2018 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 C300

The auction lists the primary damage as Front End. Stage 1 reports that the visible broken and cracked front bumper cover, damaged tow-hook cover area, and bumper-to-fender separation support this stated damage classification. The front bumper cover has moderate cracking, abrasions, and a large fractured opening around the tow-hook cover. The tow-hook cover is broken open, leaving an exposed dark opening and fractured painted plastic. The bumper cover is also separated from the adjacent fender and headlamp areas, with visible gaps and exposed edges at the front corners. Several minor linear scuffs and dark marks are present on the lower front door and forward fender. The supplied findings do not report damage to mechanical, structural, lighting, restraint, or other vehicle systems; these areas should be physically inspected, particularly because the bumper and headlamp interfaces are affected. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C300 Coupe, built in Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline inline-four engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The drivetrain was not specified in the decoding data. NHTSA recall records include several campaigns associated with 2018 C300 and C-Class vehicles. These include recalls involving the front seatback locking mechanism, front seat-belt retraction, air-bag grounding and passenger air-bag status display, headlight adjustment, 12-volt battery mounting and electrical protection, emergency-call communication software, and, on vehicles equipped with a panoramic sunroof, bonding of the front roof panel. Additional records concern rear-window bonding and steering components on specified variants. Applicability and completion status can depend on the exact equipment and drivetrain, so the VIN should be checked with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA and any outstanding remedies completed before purchase or road use.
