2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 SUV

The auction record lists the vehicle condition as “Clear” and identifies the primary damage as “Rear.” However, the Stage 1 photo review states that the visible evidence contradicts the “Clear” condition claim because substantial rear collision damage is present, while supporting the “Rear” primary-damage classification. The main damage is concentrated at the right rear. The rear bumper cover and both bumper-corner sections are missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement, mounting areas, brackets, and internal components. The right rear quarter panel is severely crushed and folded, with deep creases extending around the wheel arch and tail-lamp area. The right rear wheel-arch trim is missing or detached. The right outer rear tail-lamp assembly is absent, leaving the lamp cavity open with mounting points and internal components visible; surrounding lamp components are also damaged or missing. Several light-colored scuff marks are present on the lower right rear door. Additional damage is visible at the front, where the lower right front bumper and chrome-colored trim have extensive abrasion, finish loss, and localized trim damage. The VIN decodes as a 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC300 SUV, built in Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and standard safety features including electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a rear visibility system, and parking assist. The decoded drivetrain information is not specified. Official recall records list several campaigns applicable to the 2021 GLC300, involving the fuel pump, communication and emergency-call software, the rearview-camera display system, headlight adjustment, and side-impact crash sensors. The fuel-pump recall concerns possible loss of drive power, while the side-impact sensor recall may affect air-bag and seat-belt activation in a side collision. Recall completion should be verified with Mercedes-Benz using the vehicle identification number before purchase. The visible damage also warrants a comprehensive inspection of the rear body structure, lighting, wiring, safety systems, and any components behind the damaged panels.
