2015 MERCEDES-BENZ C Base

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is listed in the auction records with a salvage certificate of title and “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end damage claim, citing extensive damage to the hood, bumper, grille, front fenders, headlamp area, and exposed front support components. The salvage-title status itself cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood is deeply creased and deformed across the front and center, with a raised and irregular leading edge. Both front fenders are severely buckled, creased, and torn around the wheel arches and front corners. The front bumper cover and lower grille sections are detached, while the grille, surround, and fascia plastics are broken, separated, and displaced. One headlamp assembly is missing, leaving an open cavity with exposed mounting and internal components. The metal bumper reinforcement and adjacent mounting areas are visibly deformed. The radiator and condenser area is exposed, with broken support plastics, separated grille sections, and displaced lower front components. The windshield has extensive spiderweb-like cracking across a large central and passenger-side area. Both the driver steering-wheel airbag and the passenger-side dashboard airbag are visibly deployed. These findings indicate that the vehicle requires extensive collision repair and a complete inspection of its structural, restraint, lighting, cooling, and front-end systems before it can be considered roadworthy. According to the NHTSA VIN decode, this is a 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a base trim. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Vance, Alabama, USA. The recorded VIN is 55SWF4JB1FU063617.
