2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 GLC300

The auction lists the vehicle as **Salvage** with a primary damage classification of **Front End**. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the Front End classification and that substantial additional rear-end damage is also visible. The Salvage status itself cannot be verified from exterior photographs. The 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 has extensive visible collision damage at both ends. At the front, the bumper cover, grille, and both headlamp assemblies are missing, leaving the front reinforcement, radiator, cooling components, and mounting areas exposed. The leading edge of the hood is deformed, with an uneven contour and a depressed area near the center-left. The exterior wheel-arch trim is missing on both front arches. At the rear, the bumper cover is missing across the rear, and the left bumper corner and adjacent trim are absent, exposing the rear corner structure and exhaust area. The right rear lamp assembly is missing. The lower tailgate is creased and deformed, while the right rear quarter panel and lower rear corner show severe crushing and irregular deformation around the lamp opening and bumper area. The right rear wheel-arch trim is also missing. The VIN decodes as a 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class GLC300 SUV with rear-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Finland. NHTSA records identify multiple recalls associated with this model and year, including recalls involving the fuel rail and injectors, emergency-call communication software, electric power steering, panoramic-roof panel bonding on vehicles equipped with a panoramic sunroof, occupant-classification air-bag software, seat-belt detection and pretensioner operation, passenger air-bag warning labels, and headlamp adjustment. Recall completion should be confirmed with Mercedes-Benz using the VIN before the vehicle is operated or repaired. Due to the missing lighting and extensive front and rear body components, a complete inspection of the cooling system, wiring, sensors, steering system, supplemental restraint system, body structure, and mechanical components is recommended before purchase.
