2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as front-end damage. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment supports this claim: the front bumper cover, grille, and one headlamp assembly are missing, with visible deformation around the hood and front fender. The front bumper cover and grille assembly are absent, exposing the bumper reinforcement, radiator, condenser, cooling components, and internal mounting areas. One front headlamp assembly is missing, leaving its mounting area and wiring exposed; the detached headlamp and removed bumper components are shown lying beside the vehicle. The front edge of the hood has irregular gaps and deformation, particularly at the corner adjacent to the missing components. The leading portion of the front fender is creased and displaced around the wheel arch, and the front wheel-arch liner is torn or displaced and hanging outward. These findings indicate substantial collision damage to the front end. The provided findings do not establish the condition of components that are not visible, including possible damage to structural, cooling, electrical, steering, suspension, safety-system, or mechanical components. A complete physical inspection and diagnostic scan are recommended before purchase or repair approval. According to the VIN decode, 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.
