2025 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 4MATIC SUV

The auction lists the primary damage as hail. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports hail-type damage on the hood, with numerous small, shallow dents concentrated on the horizontal panel. The roof and rear liftgate appear largely smooth in the available views, so comparable dent density is not visible on those panels. The hood has multiple shallow, rounded dents across the upward-facing surface. The paint appears intact, with no clearly visible cracking or chipping at the dents. The left exterior mirror assembly is missing its outer housing and mirror glass, leaving internal components and wiring exposed. The mirror will require replacement or repair, and its wiring and related functions should be inspected. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4MATIC SUV built in Bremen, Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 255 hp, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. Three NHTSA recalls are listed for this model and year. Recall 25V379000 concerns the roof lining and C-pillar trim on vehicles equipped with a panoramic sunroof; the remedy is modification by a Mercedes-Benz dealer. Recall 25V533000 concerns the steering coupling fastener, which may loosen and potentially cause loss of steering control; the remedy is inspection and tightening of the bolts as necessary. Recall 26V281000 concerns a possible infotainment control-unit reset that could cause the instrument panel display to go blank; the remedy is a software update. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA before purchase.
