2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 SUV

The auction record lists the vehicle as Salvage, with “Roof” recorded as the primary damage. However, Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence does not support the Roof damage code: no clear roof damage is visible, while the front windshield is extensively cracked and the airbags are visibly deployed. The front windshield has severe, widespread spiderweb and branching cracks across the central and upper-left areas. A concentrated impact area is visible near the center-left portion of the glass, and the windshield appears fractured across a broad section. Replacement of the windshield and inspection of the surrounding structure and related systems will be required. Fabric airbags are visibly deployed from both the steering-wheel area and the front passenger dashboard. The vehicle should undergo a complete collision-restraint inspection, including the airbag control system, seat belts, pretensioners, crash sensors, wiring, and interior mounting points. The provided findings do not establish the extent of any additional structural, mechanical, or electrical damage. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class GLC300 SUV, manufactured by Mercedes-Benz AG in Finland. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder M264 engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The decoded data identifies left-hand drive, five seats, and standard safety equipment including front airbags, side airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear visibility, and park assist. The supplied recall records include several campaigns applicable to the 2021 GLC300.
