2022 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 SUV

This 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 is listed with a “Clear” auction condition, while the auction’s primary-damage code is “Left Side.” Stage 1 reports that the visible damage contradicts the “Clear” condition designation: substantial damage is present around the left rear door, and the front lower bumper trim is also displaced. Stage 1 considers the visible damage consistent with the stated “Left Side” primary-damage code. The left rear door has severe exterior damage. Its outer door panel is missing, exposing the inner structure, wiring, mechanisms, and diagonal reinforcement. The exterior handle, outer trim, and related finishing components are also absent. Light-colored linear scratches and surface scuffs are visible around the left rear door opening and on the adjacent left rear quarter panel. At the front, a section of lower bumper trim at the corner is protruding outward, with an open gap and separated edges. Various removed components—including a door trim panel, exterior moldings, mirror-related trim, bumper reinforcement or trim pieces, wiring, and other plastic parts—are shown placed on the ground beside the vehicle. Replacement parts, proper fitment, wiring condition, structural damage, and the operation of the affected door and related systems should be verified during a physical inspection. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class SUV, manufactured for the 2022 model year. It has a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder engine rated at 255 horsepower, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in Finland. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this make, model, and model year. Recall 23V445000 concerns the fuel pump, which may shut down and cause a loss of drive power; the stated remedy is free fuel-pump replacement by a dealer. Recall 24V070000 concerns potentially incorrect headlight adjustment that may create glare for oncoming traffic; the stated remedy is free inspection and correction of the headlight adjustment if necessary. Recall completion for this specific vehicle should be confirmed with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
