2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 SUV

The auction lists the primary damage as rear damage. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment supports this claim: the rear bumper cover is missing or detached, rear bumper components are exposed, and the lower rear area shows visible scuffing. Additional damage is present at the driver-side exterior mirror and both rear quarter panels. The driver-side exterior mirror housing is absent or broken, with internal components and wiring exposed. The driver-side rear quarter panel around the wheel arch has multiple dark scrapes, paint loss, and a localized gouge. The passenger-side rear quarter panel also has dark linear scrape marks near the wheel arch. The rear bumper cover is missing from its installed position and is detached across the lower rear area, with part of the cover and trim hanging or resting on the ground. The exposed black bumper structure and internal components are visible. The right-side trim section containing the exhaust outlet surround is detached and hanging below the vehicle. Additional scuffing and abrasion marks extend across the lower rear bumper and lower tailgate edge. According to the VIN decoding, this is a 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class GLC 300 SUV assembled in Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The VIN decoder identifies standard features including ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear visibility assistance, and park assist; some other driver-assistance features may be optional. NHTSA recall records identify several campaigns applicable to the 2021 GLC 300, including recalls involving the fuel pump, communication-module software and emergency-call functionality, the rearview-camera display, headlight adjustment, and side-impact crash sensors. Recall completion status for this vehicle should be confirmed with Mercedes-Benz using the VIN before purchase. The findings describe visible exterior damage only. A physical inspection is recommended to check the bumper structure and mounting points, exhaust-trim attachment, exposed wiring, parking and camera systems, lighting, sensors, wheel-arch areas, and any mechanical or alignment-related damage before repair or road use.
