2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 4MATIC SUV

The auction record lists the vehicle as **Salvage** with **Left Side** as the primary damage classification. Stage 1’s assessment states that the visible evidence supports the Left Side classification, with substantial damage to the left front door, fender, rocker area, and left rear lamp. However, Stage 1 also notes that the Salvage status cannot be confirmed or contradicted from the photographs alone. The main visible damage is concentrated along the left side. The left front door has a large irregular dent with multiple deep creases, extensive white scuffing, and paint transfer. The lower door edge and adjacent lower body are also scraped and damaged. The left front fender is creased and deformed above and behind the wheel opening, with scraped paint extending toward the door gap. The lower left rocker panel and side skirt show scraping, deformation, and broken or missing sections near the front door. At the rear, the left tail lamp lens is broken or missing in sections, leaving internal light elements exposed and an irregular opening in the lamp assembly. The left rear bumper and adjacent lower rear quarter panel have multiple white scuff marks and scratches. Additional light scratches and scuffed areas are present across the central portion of the hood. The VIN decodes as a 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class SUV, trim designation GLC300-4M, with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in Bremen, Germany. The supplied decode does not specify the drive type in its main vehicle-information field. Several NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model and year. They concern potential fuel-pump shutdown and loss of drive power; communication-module or eCall software and activation issues; rearview-camera display operation; headlight adjustment; and side-impact crash-sensor connectors that could affect air-bag and seat-belt activation. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz before purchase, and any outstanding repairs should be completed by an authorized dealer. A thorough physical inspection is recommended, including the left-side structure and rocker area, door and fender fit, tail-lamp wiring, lighting operation, restraint and air-bag systems, wheel and suspension components, alignment, and any damage not visible in the supplied findings.
