2016 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title and identifies the primary damage as “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible broken, separated, and partially missing front bumper components support the stated front-end damage classification. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The front right bumper cover is severely damaged. It is separated from the adjacent bodywork, has broken edges, and has an open gap beneath the right headlamp. A section of the lower front-right bumper is missing or torn away, exposing dark internal components. The black lower fascia trim is also displaced and hanging below the front-right bumper corner. Inside the vehicle, the outer/front portion of the driver’s seat cushion has a moderate tear, with upholstery separated along the seam. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C300 sedan, manufactured in the United States. It has a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine. The decoded safety equipment includes first-row driver and passenger airbags, side airbags for the first and second rows, curtain airbags, and seat-belt pretensioners and load limiters for the outboard seating positions. Further inspection should verify the condition of the components behind the damaged bumper, including the headlamp area, front structural components, cooling system, sensors, and related safety systems.
