2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 4MATIC

The vehicle is a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300, identified by VIN WDC0G4KB2HV013472. The VIN decodes as a GLC-Class SUV with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine, turbocharging, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Finland. The auction record identifies the vehicle as salvage, with “Left Front” listed as the primary damage. The visible evidence supports the stated Left Front primary-damage code. However, the salvage status cannot be independently confirmed from exterior photographs. Significant collision damage is visible at the left front corner. The left front fender is severely deformed and deeply scraped, with lighter-colored underlying material exposed around the wheel opening and fender edge. The left front wheel and tire are displaced forward and outward from the wheel opening, and suspension and inner wheel-well components are exposed. The extent of this displacement indicates that the steering, suspension, wheel, tire, and related structural mounting areas require thorough inspection before operation. The left exterior door mirror is detached and hanging outward, with its housing, mounting components, and wiring exposed. The left front bumper corner has moderate scuffing and an irregular separated edge. The left front wheel well is also missing its normal inner liner, leaving additional suspension and inner wheel-well components exposed. The vehicle should be considered non-roadworthy until the left front suspension, steering, wheel and tire, body structure, electrical wiring, restraint and safety systems, and all related components have been professionally inspected and repaired. A complete mechanical, alignment, diagnostic, and underbody assessment is recommended before purchase or attempted operation.
