2020 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 COUPE 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as **“Suspension.”** However, Stage 1’s photo assessment states that the visible evidence does not support suspension as the primary damage: the photographs clearly show substantial collision damage to the left rear door, rear quarter panel, wheel-arch area, and side step, while no suspension damage is directly visible. The left rear door has a large, irregular depression across its lower and middle sections, with multiple deep dents, sharp creases, scraped paint, and abrasion along the lower edge. The adjacent left rear quarter panel is severely dented and deformed around the wheel opening. The left side step below the rear door is moderately damaged, with a pronounced bend, crushed section, and deformation near the rear wheel. The supplied VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class multipurpose vehicle, identified as a GLC300-4M trim. It is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-litre, four-cylinder gasoline engine producing 255 hp, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in Germany. The decoder identifies standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, and a rear-visibility system. Four-wheel drive is indicated by the decoded trim designation, although the NHTSA drive-type field is unspecified.
