2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 GLC300

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 is listed with a clear auction condition and a “Rear” primary-damage code. However, Stage 1 reports that the visible rear damage supports the “Rear” classification and contradicts the auction’s “Clear” condition claim. The rear bumper cover is missing across the lower rear of the vehicle, exposing the black bumper beam, mounting hardware, and inner rear body areas. The bumper beam and other lower bumper components are displaced downward and away from the body. The bumper corner sections below and beside the tail lamps are also missing, with brackets and inner components exposed. Wiring is visibly hanging from the rear bumper area and extends onto the ground. The lower liftgate panel has a broad horizontal depressed and creased area with additional abrasion. A thin vertical surface scuff is visible on the lower-middle area of the visible rear door. The findings are consistent with significant rear collision damage. A complete physical inspection is recommended to assess concealed body, structural, wiring, sensor, and mounting-point damage before purchase or road use. According to the VIN decode, this vehicle is a rear-wheel-drive GLC-Class SUV with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and a five-seat, four-door configuration. The VIN identifies the trim as GLC300 and the manufacturing plant as Uusikaupunki, Finland. NHTSA records list multiple safety recalls applicable to the 2019 GLC 300. These include recalls involving the fuel rail and injectors due to a possible fuel leak, electric power steering, emergency-call communication software and activation, seat-belt buckle detection and pretensioner operation, passenger air-bag warning display, air-bag warning labels, panoramic-sunroof front-panel bonding where applicable, and headlight adjustment. Recall completion status for this vehicle was not provided; the VIN should be checked with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA, and any open recalls should be repaired by an authorized dealer before operation.
