2022 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 4MATIC SUV

The auction lists the primary damage as “Front & Rear.” Stage 1 reports that visible evidence supports this classification: front bumper scuffing and rear liftgate and bumper damage are visible. The vehicle is a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4MATIC SUV, VIN W1N0G8EBXNV363851. Factory decoding identifies a gasoline 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. The vehicle was manufactured in Finland. At the near-side front bumper corner, adjacent to the front wheel, several dark linear scuff marks and areas of paint abrasion are visible. This is classified as minor cosmetic damage. The lower rear liftgate has a broad inward deformation with a pronounced horizontal crease extending across the lower central panel. The lower rear bumper cover and silver lower bumper trim also show scraping and abrasion. In addition, a small rectangular cover is missing from the lower right section of the rear bumper, leaving a recessed opening. These rear-area issues are classified as moderate collision damage. The liftgate, bumper structure, mounting points, trim, and any associated parking or safety systems should be inspected and tested during the repair assessment. Two NHTSA recall campaigns are listed for this make, model, and model year. Recall 23V445000 concerns the fuel pump, which may shut down and cause a loss of drive power; the remedy is fuel-pump replacement at no charge. Recall 24V070000 concerns headlight adjustment, as the headlights may be aimed too high and create glare for oncoming traffic; the remedy is inspection and correction of the adjustment at no charge. Recall completion should be verified with Mercedes-Benz using the VIN.
