2015 MERCEDES-BENZ C Base

The auction record lists the vehicle with a “Certificate of Title” condition designation and “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification because extensive damage and missing components are visible across the front fascia. The Certificate of Title status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The front end has severe collision damage. The front bumper cover, grille trim, lower fascia components, and both headlamp assemblies are missing or displaced, exposing the radiator, lower heat exchanger, mounting areas, wiring, and other internal components. Broken and fragmented plastic remains along the lower front edge. Both front fenders are severely deformed and torn around their front edges and wheel arches. The hood has moderate buckling and deformation along the front edge and center, with uneven gaps above the exposed front-end components. The lower front support and attached components are also moderately displaced and irregular. Inside the cabin, the steering-wheel leather shows minor wear and discoloration along the upper rim. The left front seat has minor creasing and surface wear on the cushion and side bolster. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a United States production origin. The visible findings indicate that substantial front-end repair and replacement work will be required. The condition of concealed structural, cooling, electrical, restraint, steering, suspension, and mechanical components cannot be determined from the provided findings and should be verified through a comprehensive physical inspection.
