2018 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 GLC300

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 is listed with a “Clear” auction condition and “Left Side” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe damage to the left rear door and the deployed left-side curtain airbags contradict the “Clear” condition claim and support the listed “Left Side” damage classification. The left rear door has severe crushing, with a large, deep inward deformation, multiple sharp creases, and extensive surface distortion across the middle, rear, and lower sections. The lower door edge and adjacent lower body area are also visibly distorted. A curtain airbag is deployed along the left-side roof area, including the upper rear passenger compartment. The restraint system, roof-side structure, door, surrounding bodywork, and related electrical components should be thoroughly inspected and repaired by a qualified facility before the vehicle is considered safe for road use. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class SUV, trim GLC300, with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, nine-speed automatic transmission, and production in Finland. The decoded data does not specify the drivetrain. NHTSA recall records list multiple recalls applicable to 2018 GLC 300 vehicles, including issues involving rear-seat belt latch plates, driver and passenger air-bag systems, panoramic-roof panel bonding, emergency-call communication software, occupant-classification information, and LED turn-signal color. Recall applicability and completion status should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz before purchase, particularly because this vehicle has deployed airbags and damage in the left-side roof and rear-door area.
