2022 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 4MATIC SUV

The auction lists the primary damage as **Front End**. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim: the front bumper cover, grille, lower fascia, front wheel assemblies, and related front-end trim are visibly absent or displaced. The front bumper cover and outer fascia are missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement, radiator area, cooling components, and internal mounting points. The front grille and lower front trim are also absent. Both front wheel and tire assemblies are missing, leaving the brake rotors, calipers, suspension components, and wheel-well areas exposed. Wheel-arch liners and surrounding trim are absent or displaced on both sides. A wiring harness is hanging loose in the open bumper area. The removed bumper assembly, additional front-end plastic components, and front wheel and tire assemblies are visible on the ground beside the vehicle. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class GLC 300 4MATIC SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz AG in Bremen, Germany. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this make, model, and year. Recall 23V445000 concerns a fuel pump that may shut down and cause a loss of drive power; the stated remedy is fuel-pump replacement. Recall 24V070000 concerns potentially incorrect headlight adjustment that may create glare for oncoming traffic; the stated remedy is inspection and correction of the headlight adjustment. Recall completion should be verified by VIN before purchase. Given the extensive missing front-end components and both front wheel assemblies, a comprehensive physical inspection is required to assess the exposed cooling system, suspension, steering, brakes, wiring, structural mounting points, and any damage not visible in the provided findings.
