2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 4MATIC SUV

The auction lists the primary damage as “Right Side.” However, the Stage 1 photo review found that the visible damage is concentrated on the left side, including the left front and left rear doors and the left front fender; the photos do not support the auction claim of right-side primary damage. The left front door has moderate collision damage, with a large inward deformation, multiple creases, and extensive dark scraping and paint transfer across the lower and central sections. The left rear door also has moderate deformation and scratching, including a pronounced vertical crease near its forward edge and scraped paint along the lower forward area. Additional minor cosmetic damage includes dark linear scuff marks on the left front fender above and behind the wheel arch, as well as light abrasion on the central lower rear bumper trim. The supplied findings do not identify mechanical, structural, interior, or underbody damage. A physical inspection is recommended to assess door operation, hinges, locks, window mechanisms, adjacent body structure, alignment, paint condition, and the operation of safety systems before purchase. The VIN decodes as a 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class SUV, trim designation GLC300-4M, built in Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and seating for five occupants. The decoded safety equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, electronic stability control, forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a rearview camera, parking assist, and direct tire-pressure monitoring. NHTSA records show several recalls associated with this model and year. They include a fuel-pump shutdown issue that may cause loss of drive power; software issues affecting the emergency-call system; an MBUX software issue that may prevent the rearview camera image from displaying; potentially incorrect headlight adjustment; possible deactivation of the emergency-call function during service; and side-impact sensor connector issues that could delay airbag and seat-belt activation. Recall completion status is not provided, so the VIN should be checked with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer before purchase, and any outstanding repairs should be completed.
