2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 GLC300

The auction lists the primary damage as **Front End**. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification, with extensive damage to the hood, front bumper, grille, right headlamp, and front fender. Additional visible damage is present on the left side and at the rear bumper. The hood has multiple severe dents, creases, and torn or deformed sections along the leading edge and right front corner. The front bumper cover and grille sections are missing across the center and right side, exposing the radiator and front reinforcement components. The right headlamp assembly is also missing, leaving its internal components exposed. The right front fender has a large crease and torn or deformed metal around the wheel-arch area. On the left side, the front fender has dents and creases near the upper rear section and wheel arch. The left exterior mirror housing is damaged and hanging away from the door, with internal components visible. Both left-side doors show multiple dents and creases, and the left rear quarter panel has a large irregular dent with creased metal forward of the rear lamp and above the wheel opening. At the rear, the bumper cover is absent or detached across the lower section, with internal bumper components exposed and detached pieces visible below the vehicle. The right rear bumper corner cover and surrounding trim are also missing, exposing the rear corner structure and exhaust-area components. The instrument cluster shows illuminated check-engine and supplemental restraint system warning indicators. The available photographs do not establish the underlying causes of these warnings. The vehicle should therefore receive a comprehensive inspection, including structural and suspension checks, wiring and lighting-system testing, airbag and restraint-system diagnostics, cooling-system inspection, and mechanical evaluation before repair or purchase decisions are made.
