2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 COUPE 4MATIC

The vehicle is listed with a salvage condition and an auction primary-damage designation of “Left Side.” These are unverified auction classifications. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence partially supports the left-side designation because the front-left wheel area is visibly affected; it also notes separate damage to the front and rear lower bumper trim. The most significant visible issue is at the front-left wheel area. The wheel opening is empty, and a tire is visible on the ground beneath the front-left corner. The extent of damage to the wheel, suspension, steering, brakes, and related components cannot be determined from the provided findings and should be physically inspected before purchase. The front bumper also has substantial damage. A large lower grille/trim section is detached and lying on the ground in front of the vehicle. The lower bumper cover at the right corner, viewed from the front, is separated with an open gap and loose black trim underneath. At the rear, the chrome lower bumper trim on the right side, viewed from the rear, is detached, with a black mounting piece hanging below it. The instrument cluster shows illuminated ABS, traction-control, check-engine, and BRAKE warning indicators. The available photographs do not establish their cause or confirm a mechanical failure. Diagnostic scanning and a comprehensive mechanical inspection are recommended. Interior wear includes extensive cracking, peeling, and missing material on the upper-left section of the steering-wheel grip. According to the NHTSA VIN decode, this is a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class with the GLC300-4M trim designation. It is identified as a multipurpose passenger vehicle/SUV with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder M274 engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in Bremen, Germany. The decode lists standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, and front and side airbags, but it does not establish the current operating condition of any safety system.
