2020 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 4MATIC

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 is listed with minor cosmetic damage in the provided findings. Several light linear scuff marks are visible on the lower chrome-colored rear bumper trim. Thin, light surface scratches are also noted across the painted hood. No other damage findings were provided. The auction’s primary damage designation is “Hail.” However, Stage 1’s photo review found that the hood, trunk lid, and visible roof surfaces appeared largely smooth, without the numerous shallow dents typically associated with hail damage. Stage 1 therefore concluded that the visible evidence does not support the auction’s hail-damage claim. This conclusion is separate from the minor hood surface scratches noted above. NHTSA decoding identifies the vehicle as a Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class SUV, built in Germany, with a 2.0-liter turbocharged M264 four-cylinder gasoline engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and the GLC300-4M trim designation. The decoded specifications also list five seats, 18-inch wheels, and standard equipment including adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, and a rear-visibility system. NHTSA records list multiple recalls affecting applicable 2020 GLC 300 vehicles. These include possible power-steering wiring damage, fuel-rail and injector leakage, turbocharger oil-line leakage, driver-airbag installation, side-impact sensors, emergency-call communication software or module operation, rearview-camera display or multimedia software, a rear seatback latch, panoramic-roof-panel bonding, and headlight adjustment. Recall campaign numbers include 20V651000, 21V058000, 21V961000, 19V685000, 21V072000, 21V527000, 22V365000, 21V197000, 22V232000, 20V068000, 20V328000, 21V354000, 20V364000, 23V854000, and 24V070000.
