2022 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 SUV

The auction record identifies the vehicle as Salvage, with Rear listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the Rear damage classification: extensive deformation and breakage are present at the rear tailgate, bumper, and lower rear trim. The Salvage title status cannot be independently confirmed from exterior photographs. The main visible damage is concentrated at the rear. The lower tailgate has extensive, sharp creasing and broad inward deformation below and beside the license-plate area. The rear bumper cover is severely crushed and distorted across its width. The right rear bumper corner is torn and displaced, with an open gap and internal components visible behind it. The lower rear valance and exhaust-surround trim are cracked, crushed, bent, and displaced, with missing or open sections along the lower edge. Any damage behind these panels or to related mounting and structural components would require a physical inspection. The front windshield also has multiple intersecting cracks across the lower-center area, described as moderate damage.
