2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as front-end damage. The visible evidence supports this classification: the hood is severely deformed, while the front grille and portions of the front bumper fascia are missing or damaged. The hood has pronounced upward deformation across the front edge and primarily the right-front section, including a deep, irregular crease and an uneven gap above the grille and headlights. The main grille assembly is absent from the vehicle, exposing the radiator area and other internal front components. The removed grille assembly is reported to have separated chrome and black components, broken-looking plastic sections, and missing portions along its left side. The lower front bumper and center trim show breaks, displacement, irregular edges, and an open damaged area at the lower right corner, with some internal sections exposed. The VIN decodes as a 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class GLC 300-4MATIC SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Finland. The supplied findings address exterior collision damage only; they do not establish the condition of the engine, cooling system, steering, suspension, airbags, sensors, wiring, or other components behind the damaged front fascia. A complete physical inspection and diagnostic scan are recommended before purchase or repair. The supplied NHTSA recall records identify campaigns affecting this model/year, including recalls involving the fuel rail and injectors, emergency-call communication software and activation, electric power steering, passenger air-bag status display, front seat-belt buckle detection and pretensioner operation, air-bag warning labels, front roof-panel bonding on vehicles with the relevant panoramic-sunroof/prior-repair conditions, and headlight adjustment. Recall repairs are generally described as no-cost dealer inspections, software updates, component replacement, or correction as applicable. Completion status is not provided and should be verified with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA using the VIN before the vehicle is operated.
