2016 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300-4M

This 2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan is listed with a salvage title, and the auction’s primary-damage classification is “rear end.” However, the provided photo assessment states that the visible evidence does not clearly support a rear-end primary-damage claim. The most apparent damage is concentrated around the right rear door and adjoining quarter panel, while no clear major impact deformation is visible in the rear bumper or trunk area. The right rear door and quarter panel near the wheel arch have scraped paint, dark paint transfer, localized deformation, and tape covering the damaged area. Additional black and gray scuff marks are visible around the right rear wheel-arch edge and the lower corner of the rear bumper. These areas will likely require body repair and refinishing, with further inspection needed to determine whether any mounting or structural components are affected. Inside the vehicle, the steering-wheel rim shows extensive surface wear and peeling across multiple sections. The instrument cluster displays both a check-engine warning and a red BRAKE indicator. These warnings should be diagnosed before purchase, and the braking system should be inspected promptly rather than assuming the indicators are minor or cosmetic. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine. The decoded trim is listed as C300-4M, although drivetrain and transmission details were not provided in the available data. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Vance, Alabama, USA. A pre-purchase inspection should include diagnostic scanning, a complete brake-system check, verification of the rear-body repair, and an inspection of the vehicle’s overall condition consistent with its salvage-title history.
