2022 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 4MATIC SUV

The auction lists the primary damage as Right Front. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification, with the most severe damage concentrated at the vehicle’s right front corner. The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4MATIC has severe collision damage affecting the right front hood corner, fender, headlamp area, bumper, and lower front fascia. The hood is folded downward and heavily creased, with paint damage along the front edge. The right front fender is crushed and torn from the hood edge to the wheel opening, with extensive scrape marks and exposed inner surfaces. The right headlamp or lighting assembly is missing, leaving an open cavity. The right side of the bumper cover is torn, detached, and hanging downward, with sections missing. Internal front-end components, brackets, wiring, radiator-area components, and inner body surfaces are exposed through the damaged bumper and headlamp cavities. The extent of any damage behind these visible areas should be determined through a detailed physical inspection. The instrument cluster displays the warning: “Coolant Too Hot Stop Vehicle Turn Engine Off.” This indicates a coolant-temperature warning was present at the time shown; the underlying cause and any resulting mechanical damage are not established by the provided findings.
