2018 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 GLC300

The auction lists the primary damage as “Left Side.” Stage 1’s photo-based assessment supports this claim: extensive dents, creases, scratches, and scraped paint are visible on the left front fender and both left-side doors. The most significant damage affects the lower and middle sections of the left front and left rear doors. Both doors show pronounced dents, sharp horizontal creases, irregular deformation, dark transfer marks, scratches, and areas of scraped paint extending toward the lower side molding and rocker area. The lower portion of the left front door has particularly deep creasing and substantial surface deformation. The left front fender also has a horizontal crease and localized denting above and behind the wheel arch, along with scratches and scuff marks. The provided findings address visible exterior damage only. They do not confirm the condition of the door structure, hinges, locks, windows, side-impact components, rocker structure, suspension, alignment, airbags, or other mechanical and safety systems. A physical inspection and diagnostic scan are recommended before purchase, together with verification that all repairs have been completed correctly.
