2022 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 4MATIC SUV

This 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 is listed with a salvage condition and hail as the auction’s primary damage classification. The auction classification is an unverified claim. The documented damage is concentrated on the hood. Multiple small, shallow, rounded depressions are visible across the upward-facing hood surface, with a greater concentration on the horizontal panel than on the visible vertical body panels. The paint appears continuous, with no sharp cracking visible at the photographed dents. The damage is assessed as moderate shallow denting. Stage 1’s photo assessment found that the visible hood depressions are consistent with localized hail-type denting. However, the decklid appeared largely smooth, and the roof was not shown clearly enough to assess. The photographs therefore provide only partial support for the hail claim and do not demonstrate a widespread dent pattern across all upward-facing panels. The VIN decodes as a Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class SUV, trim GLC300 4MATIC, built in Germany. It is equipped with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. Two NHTSA recalls are associated with this make, model, and year. Recall 23V445000 concerns a fuel pump that may shut down and cause a loss of drive power; the remedy is fuel-pump replacement. Recall 24V070000 concerns potentially incorrect headlight adjustment that may create glare for oncoming traffic; the remedy is inspection and correction of the headlight adjustment. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz before purchase.
