2018 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as Right Front. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification: the right-front corner has missing bumper, grille, headlamp, and fender components, with additional front-end components missing on the opposite side. The front bumper cover and grille are absent, exposing the bumper reinforcement, radiator and cooling assemblies, mounting brackets, lower support components, and wiring. The right-front headlamp assembly is missing, while a detached headlamp assembly on the ground has a broken and deformed housing and lens with loose wiring. Both the left- and right-front fender panels are missing, exposing the wheelhouses and inner body structure. The left-front wheelhouse liner and surrounding trim are also missing. The extent of damage to the underlying structure, suspension, cooling system, wiring, sensors, and other components cannot be determined from these findings and requires a thorough physical inspection. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class SUV, GLC 300-4M trim, with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Finland. The decoded data does not specify the drive type in the provided information. NHTSA records show multiple recalls applicable to the 2018 GLC 300, including recalls involving rear-seat-belt latch access, driver and passenger air-bag systems, panoramic sunroof or roof-panel bonding, emergency-call communication software, and front turn-signal color on vehicles equipped with LED headlights. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz before purchase, and all required repairs should be completed by an authorized dealer.
