2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 GLC300

The auction lists the primary damage as rear damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this stated rear primary-damage claim. The vehicle has severe collision damage concentrated at the rear. The complete rear bumper cover and both rear tail-lamp assemblies are missing, exposing the lower rear body structure, mounting areas, lamp cavities, and hardware. Multiple bumper components, including exterior trim and inner bumper parts, are detached and shown separately. Trim and bumper-side material are also missing from the left rear corner, with brackets and inner surfaces exposed. The lower rear body panel has visible creasing, buckling, and inward deformation in the central area. The lower tailgate has a pronounced horizontal crease with localized denting across the center-left section. The left rear quarter panel is dented and creased around the missing tail-lamp opening and above the rear wheel. Additional dents and uneven areas are present on the rear roof panel above the rear windshield. A large interior trim panel and other trim pieces from the rear cargo area are detached and shown outside the vehicle. The extent of the visible rear structural and body deformation means that the tailgate, rear body structure, bumper mounting points, lighting wiring, parking or safety systems, and surrounding panels should be physically inspected before repair or purchase. The vehicle should not be considered road-ready based on these findings alone. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC300, classified as a sport utility vehicle. It is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and standard safety equipment including ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward collision warning, dynamic brake support, and a rear visibility system. The vehicle was manufactured in Bremen, Germany.
