2018 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 4MATIC

The vehicle is listed by the auction as salvage, with “Rear” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the rear-damage classification because the rear bumper cover and corner sections are missing. Stage 1 also notes that the salvage designation cannot be independently confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The documented damage is concentrated at the rear bumper assembly. The lower rear bumper cover and both corner sections are absent, leaving the bumper mounting points and underlying components exposed. Detached painted bumper sections and trim pieces are visible separately on the floor. These findings are classified as moderate collision damage. The condition of the exposed components, mounting structure, sensors, lighting, wiring, and any damage behind the bumper requires a physical inspection. Factory VIN data identifies this vehicle as a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class SUV, trim designation GLC 300-4M, manufactured in Finland. It is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and direct tire-pressure monitoring. The decoded data does not specify the drivetrain. NHTSA records list multiple recalls associated with 2018 GLC 300 vehicles. These include recalls involving rear-seat belt latch plates, the driver-side air-bag inflator, unintended driver-air-bag deployment, panoramic sunroof panel bonding, front roof-panel bonding following a prior repair, eCall communication software and activation, passenger air-bag status display, and the color of front LED turn signals. The applicable roof-panel recall was expanded in 2023. Recall completion should be verified by Mercedes-Benz using the vehicle identification number before purchase, and any outstanding repairs should be completed by an authorized dealer.
