2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 GLC300

The auction record lists the vehicle’s condition as “Clear” and identifies “Front End” as the primary damage. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment states that the visible, extensive front-end damage contradicts the “Clear” condition claim and supports the “Front End” damage classification. The complete painted front bumper cover is missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement, cooling components, brackets, and wiring. The center grille and surrounding front-fascia trim are also absent, leaving the radiator and support components exposed. The front-left headlamp assembly is missing, with its mounting area and internal components visible. The outer front-left fender panel is absent around the wheel opening, exposing the inner wheel-well area and adjacent components. The front-left wheel-well liner and the front portion of the left rocker trim are missing. Lower front splash panels and coverings are absent or incomplete, leaving the lower cooling area and mounting structure exposed. The listed findings are consistent with substantial front-end collision damage. A complete structural, cooling-system, wiring, steering, suspension, and safety-system inspection is recommended before repair or road use.
