2023 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300 4MATIC

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction identifies the primary damage as front-end damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end damage supports the unverified “FRONT END” classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front bumper cover and lower front fascia are missing, leaving internal front-end components, the radiator area, support components, and wiring exposed. The front corner adjacent to the damaged headlamp has severe breakage and displacement, with open gaps around the headlamp and wheel-arch area. The headlamp assembly is visibly broken, with outer components missing or displaced and internal parts exposed. Additional damage includes deformation and creasing along the front edge and corner of the hood, as well as creasing and deformation of the front fender near the headlamp and wheel opening. The grille and its lower mounting area contain broken and displaced plastic sections. A large lower undertray panel is detached and hanging beneath the front end. The visible findings are concentrated at the front of the vehicle; the condition of concealed structural, mechanical, electrical, safety, and cooling-system components is not established by these findings. The VIN decodes the vehicle as a 2023 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C300 4MATIC sedan, built in South Africa. It is equipped with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine (M254), and the factory safety information lists standard systems including forward collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, automatic emergency braking-related functions, and LED low-beam headlamps. Actual operation of these systems cannot be assessed from the available damage findings.
