2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 4MATIC

The auction record identifies this 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 as Salvage, with Left Front listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the Left Front damage code: the left front lighting and bumper components are missing, the hood edge is deformed, and the wheel-arch trim is absent. Stage 1 also notes that Salvage status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The most significant visible damage is concentrated at the left front corner. The left headlamp assembly is missing from the vehicle, leaving an open cavity with internal mounting and wiring components exposed. The removed headlamp is visible on the ground beside a detached long black bumper reinforcement or absorber component. The lower left bumper lamp or grille insert is also missing, and the bumper cover has scuffing and edge damage around the opening. The left front hood corner is raised and irregular, with an enlarged, uneven gap between the hood and fender above the headlamp area. The left front wheel-arch molding is missing around the upper and forward portions of the opening, exposing mounting holes, fastener locations, and incomplete trim attachment areas. An uneven-looking gap is also visible at the left front fender-to-front-door seam. The hood emblem is missing or damaged, leaving an empty circular mounting base. Additional cosmetic damage is visible at both rear bumper corners. The right rear bumper has dark transfer marks and linear scuffs, while the left rear bumper has light scuffing and dark marks near its lower section. The provided findings are based on exterior images and do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, suspension, steering, airbag system, cooling system, electrical components, or underlying structural members. The detached and missing front components, exposed wiring, hood deformation, and irregular panel gaps warrant a comprehensive in-person inspection, including checks for hidden damage, correct component mounting, wiring and lighting operation, alignment, safety-system faults, and roadworthiness. Salvage-title inspection and repair requirements should also be confirmed before purchase. According to the VIN decoding, this is a 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class GLC 300-4MATIC SUV with all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in Finland. The supplied NHTSA recall information includes recalls for certain 2019 GLC 300 vehicles involving potential fuel-rail or injector fuel leaks, electric power-steering assist failures, emergency-call/eCall software or communication-module issues, passenger airbag occupant-classification display, seat-belt buckle detection, incorrect airbag warning labels, and headlamp adjustment. Additional roof-panel recalls apply to certain vehicles equipped with a panoramic sunroof or affected by prior repairs. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer before the vehicle is operated.
