2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 GLC300

The auction lists the primary damage as front-end damage. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment supports this claim: the front bumper, grille, headlights, both front fender areas, and associated front-end components are absent, and the hood is visibly deformed. The front bumper assembly and grille area are missing, leaving the radiator assembly, wiring, mounting brackets, hoses, and other components exposed. Both headlamp assemblies are absent, with open mounting areas and wiring visible at the front corners. The left and right front fender panels are also missing, exposing the wheel-well areas and additional front-end components. The hood has moderate deformation along its front and side edges, including creasing and uneven corners. Paint is chipped and peeling at the front-right corner and along the front edge. A light scuff and small surface scrape are visible near the front edge of the front door. These findings indicate extensive front-end collision damage and a substantial repair requirement. The condition of the underlying structure, cooling system, steering and suspension components, restraints, electrical systems, and engine cannot be determined from the listed findings and should be verified by a qualified physical inspection. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class GLC300 SUV with rear-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline turbocharged engine rated at 241 horsepower, and a nine-speed automatic transmission.
