2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 4MATIC

The auction record identifies this 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 as Salvage with “Front End” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end collision damage supports the stated “Front End” claim. However, the Salvage condition cannot be independently confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The visible damage is concentrated at the left front corner and front fascia. The hood has severe creasing, crushed metal, and a substantially deformed left-front edge. The complete front bumper cover is detached and has extensive scraping, cracking, abrasion, and deformation, particularly around the left side and grille opening. The grille remains attached to the detached bumper cover rather than installed on the vehicle. The left headlamp and left front fender are missing, exposing the mounting areas, radiator, reinforcement member, brackets, wiring, and inner wheel-well components. The left front wheel-well liner and adjacent plastic components are torn, displaced, and irregular. These findings indicate substantial impact damage, but the supplied findings do not establish the condition of hidden structural, cooling, steering, suspension, restraint, or electrical components. A complete physical inspection and diagnostic scan will be required before estimating the repair scope or confirming whether the vehicle is safe to operate. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a Germany-built 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class SUV, specifically a GLC 300-4MATIC configuration with all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. NHTSA recall records list several campaigns applicable to this make, model, and year. These include fuel-rail and injector replacement for a possible fuel leak and fire risk (21V961000); software updates addressing emergency-call communication faults (21V058000 and 22V365000); inspection or activation of the emergency-call module (21V072000); electric power-steering repairs for possible loss of steering assist (19V822000 and 18V840000); passenger air-bag status display software updates (18V838000); front seat-belt buckle inspection and possible replacement (19V788000); inspection or replacement of incorrect passenger air-bag warning labels (19V914000); front roof-panel repairs for vehicles affected by incorrect prior bonding repairs (21V197000 and expanded campaign 23V854000); and headlamp-adjustment inspection for possible glare to oncoming traffic (24V070000). Recall completion and applicability to this individual vehicle should be verified with an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer using the VIN.
