2020 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 GLC300

The auction lists the primary damage as rear damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification: the lower rear bumper fascia and corner sections are missing, exposing the rear reinforcement. Stage 1 also identified extensive additional damage to the left rear door and left rear quarter panel. The left rear door and adjacent quarter panel have severe deformation, including deep dents, sharp creases, displaced metal, and damage extending around the left rear wheel opening. The door skin is crushed across the middle and lower sections, and the exterior door handle is missing. The quarter panel is heavily deformed around the wheel arch, with torn and displaced outer panels and components exposed behind the bodywork. Lower exterior trim along the left door and rocker area is also missing. At the rear, the lower bumper fascia and both corner sections are absent. The rear reinforcement beam, mounting hardware, wiring, and other internal components are exposed. Trim at the right rear bumper corner and the left rear bumper corner is missing, leaving the lamp and bumper mounting areas exposed. The supplied findings do not confirm the condition of the underlying mechanical, structural, electrical, safety-restraint, suspension, or wheel components. A thorough physical inspection and repair estimate will be necessary. The VIN decodes as a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class GLC300 SUV, built in Bremen, Germany.
