2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 4MATIC

This 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 is reported by the auction with “Rear” as its primary damage classification. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment supports that claim: the rear bumper cover is missing, rear corner and quarter-panel deformation is visible, and rear bumper components are exposed or detached. The rear bumper assembly is substantially incomplete. The bumper cover is absent, exposing the bumper reinforcement, mounting points, lower body structure, and exhaust area. The removed bumper cover is lying on the ground and has surface scuffing, a longitudinal split or crack near the upper center, and separated or loose edge sections. The lower rear bumper and corner sections are also missing across the rear width. The left rear quarter and bumper corner, viewed from the rear, show creasing and deformation around the tail lamp and lower bumper mounting area. The right rear quarter and wheel-arch area are also visibly deformed, with exposed mounting edges and an irregular panel surface where the bumper and wheel-arch trim are missing. Wheel-arch and bumper-corner trim pieces are absent, leaving fastener holes and exposed panel edges. A silver heat shield below the rear body is visibly hanging in an irregular, lowered position relative to the exhaust outlet. Several light linear paint scratches are visible on the rear quarter panel above and behind the rear wheel. The available findings document visible rear-end collision damage only. They do not establish the condition of concealed components, exhaust-system mounting, sensors, wiring, suspension, alignment, or the underlying body structure. A complete physical inspection is recommended before purchase, including inspection behind the removed bumper, the exhaust and heat-shield mounting, rear parking or safety sensors, quarter-panel attachment points, and the vehicle’s alignment and operation. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a left-hand-drive Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class SUV, trim GLC 300-4MATIC, with all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The decoded vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Finland. Official recall information provided for 2019 GLC 300 vehicles includes the following campaigns.
