2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 GLC300

The auction record lists this 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 as having a salvage condition, with “Front & Rear” recorded as the primary damage. These are auction classifications and are not independently verified findings. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports substantial rear collision damage but does not support significant front collision damage; only light front surface scuffing is visible. Stage 1 also reports that the salvage title status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The main visible damage is concentrated at the rear. The center and lower sections of the rear liftgate are severely crushed, with extensive inward deformation, deep creases, and sharply folded areas. The rear bumper cover is detached and hanging below the vehicle, exposing underlying bumper components. The right lower rear bumper has separated sections, torn plastic edges, and a missing area of bumper-cover material. Multiple scrape marks and abrasion lines are also present across the lower rear bumper surface. At the front, light linear scuffing is visible on the bumper’s chrome trim and the adjacent dark painted area. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a German-built 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class SUV with rear-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The decoded engine is the Mercedes-Benz M274, with a listed output of 241 horsepower. NHTSA recall records include campaigns affecting this model and year for the fuel rail and injectors due to a possible fuel leak, several communication-module or software issues that may disable or mislocate the emergency-call function, electric power-steering faults, passenger air-bag occupant-classification software, front seat-belt buckle detection and pretensioner operation, incorrect passenger-side air-bag warning labels, and potentially improperly bonded front roof panels on vehicles equipped with a panoramic sunroof or involving a prior repair. Recall 24V070000 also concerns potentially incorrect headlight adjustment. Recall repairs should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer before purchase, as completion status is not provided here. A full physical inspection is recommended, including the rear body structure, liftgate hinges and latch, bumper reinforcement and mounting points, parking sensors and cameras, lighting, wiring, restraints, alignment, and the operation of all electronic systems. The visible damage report does not establish the condition of concealed components, mechanical systems, or the vehicle’s title history.
