2016 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300

The auction record lists this vehicle as having a salvage title, with “FRONT END” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end damage supports the auction’s FRONT END classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The vehicle has severe collision damage across the front. The front-left fender is deeply crushed and sharply creased around the wheel arch, with torn and displaced metal. The front-left headlamp is broken, with missing or displaced lens and housing material and exposed internal components. The front bumper is torn and displaced, with open gaps and missing sections, while the grille and center emblem area are broken and incomplete. The hood is creased and deformed at the front-left corner, with the edge raised above adjacent panels. Damage is also visible at the opposite front corner, including displaced bumper material, exposed components, and deformed bodywork around the wheel and headlamp area. Both front headlamp areas show broken or missing lens and housing material. On the damaged side, the front door has a large inward dent, sharp creases, and extensive scraping. The rocker panel beneath the door is creased, torn, and scraped. A minor tear or abrasion is visible on the outer portion of the front seat cushion. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C300 sedan with a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder gasoline engine. It was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in South Africa. The decode identifies front-row driver and passenger airbags, side airbags for the first and second rows, and seat-belt pretensioners and load limiters. Mechanical, structural, restraint-system, and electrical condition cannot be determined from the listed exterior findings and should be inspected before purchase.
