2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 4MATIC SUV

The vehicle is listed by the auction as salvage, with “Front End” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the Front End classification, with severe deformation visible on the hood, grille, bumper area, and front support panel. The hood has extensive severe damage across the front and center sections, including sharp folds, crushed areas, torn edges, and chipped paint. The front bumper cover is moderately deformed around the center and passenger-side areas, with uneven openings near the grille and lower trim, as well as scuffing and paint transfer. The chrome grille trim is displaced, leaving an open gap and exposing the black grille structure on the passenger side. The central Mercedes-Benz emblem is missing. A visible upper front support panel beneath the hood also has pronounced buckling, creasing, and torn-looking deformation, classified as severe. The VIN decodes as a 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class SUV, trim GLC300-4M, equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz AG in Finland. The decoded data does not provide a confirmed drivetrain entry beyond the trim designation. NHTSA records list several recalls applicable to the 2021 GLC 300, including recalls involving the fuel pump, communication-module software and emergency-call functionality, the rearview-camera display, headlight adjustment, and side-impact crash sensors. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz before purchase. Because of the severity of the front-end deformation, a complete physical inspection is recommended, including the structural components, cooling and mechanical systems, lighting, sensors, airbags, and other safety systems.
