2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 4MATIC

The auction record lists the vehicle’s condition as “Clear” and identifies the primary damage as “Hail.” Stage 1’s photo review found that the visible roof, hood, and rear liftgate surfaces appear largely smooth, without the dense pattern of small shallow dents typically associated with hail damage. Based on the visible evidence, Stage 1 concluded that the stated hail-damage code is not supported. The documented physical damage consists of one moderate dent with a visible crease on the upper front fender above the wheel arch, near the hood edge. The painted surface appears intact. The VIN decodes as a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class SUV, GLC 300 Base-4M trim, manufactured in Bremen, Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine (M274), a nine-speed automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. NHTSA data lists standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, and a rear-visibility system.
