2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 SUV

The auction lists the primary damage as “Front & Rear.” Stage 1’s photo-based assessment finds that this claim is only partially supported: visible rear damage is present, including a dented rear liftgate and damaged or detached lower rear bumper components, but no clear significant front collision damage is shown. The front area has minor damage consisting of a missing Mercedes-Benz emblem from the center of the grille, leaving a circular opening, and light scuffing on the lower left side of the front bumper. The visible lower-middle sections of the front and rear doors also have multiple thin scratches and light scuff marks. The rear has more substantial damage. The lower center of the liftgate has an inward dent with creasing and an irregular surface contour. The lower rear bumper cover is separated from the surrounding bumper, with open gaps and uneven edges. A section of the lower right bumper has broken or missing material, creating an open hole. Wiring or a cable is hanging beneath the lower rear bumper. The condition and operation of the liftgate, bumper mounts, wiring, parking sensors, rear camera, and any components behind the damaged areas should be checked during a physical inspection. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class GLC300 SUV with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz AG in Finland. The decoded data does not specify the drivetrain. NHTSA records list several recalls applicable to the 2021 GLC300, including recalls involving the fuel pump, communication-module software and emergency calling, rearview-camera display operation, headlight adjustment, and side-impact crash sensor connectors. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer before purchase.
