2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 4MATIC SUV

This 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 is listed by the auction with a salvage condition. The auction’s primary-damage description is “Unknown.” Stage 1 reports that the photos show identifiable localized damage at the right rear quarter panel and right rear tail light, so the visible evidence does not support an “Unknown” primary-damage description; however, the salvage status itself cannot be confirmed from exterior photos. The visible damage includes a moderately cracked outer lens on the right rear tail light, with irregular fracture lines across the lens. The right rear quarter panel above the wheel arch has a broad recessed deformation and a pronounced vertical crease extending toward the wheel-arch area. No other findings were provided. A physical inspection is recommended to check the lamp assembly, quarter-panel structure, wheel-arch area, and any related mechanical or electrical components. The VIN decodes as a Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class SUV, trim designation GLC300-4M, built in Germany. It has a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. NHTSA records list several recalls associated with this model and year. These include recalls involving the fuel pump, communication-module software and emergency-call functionality, the rearview-camera display, headlight adjustment, and side-impact crash-sensor connectors. The recall remedies include inspection, software updates, activation or replacement of components, and headlight adjustment where necessary. Completion status for this vehicle should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer before purchase.
