2024 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300

The auction lists the primary damage as “Right Side.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, with extensive damage concentrated at the right front corner. The 2024 Mercedes-Benz C 300 has severe collision damage affecting the right front fender, headlamp, bumper, lower grille and air-intake area. The fender is heavily crushed and scraped from the headlamp area toward the front door, with deep folds, distorted panel edges and exposed sections. The right front headlamp assembly is broken and displaced, with internal components visible. The right side of the front bumper is torn, scraped and displaced, and part of the lower bumper and adjacent grille/air-intake trim is missing. The front-right edge of the hood is also deformed, with an uneven panel gap above the damaged headlamp and fender. The visible damage is significant and concentrated at the right front corner. The provided findings do not establish the condition of components behind the damaged panels, so a physical inspection should assess the underlying structure, lighting, cooling and other related systems before purchase or repair planning. According to the VIN decode, this is a four-door 2024 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan in C 300 4MATIC trim, with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in South Africa. Three NHTSA recalls are listed for the 2024 C 300 model year: a fuel-pump recall that may cause loss of drive power, an 80-amp fuse recall that may cause loss of drive power or critical safety functions and may increase fire risk, and a driver-side front seat-belt-tensioner cover recall that may allow the seat-belt anchor to loosen. The provided information does not show whether these recalls have been completed on this vehicle; completion should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer.
