2018 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC GLC 300-4M

The auction record lists the vehicle with a Certificate of Title and identifies the primary damage as “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible damage on one side supports the stated SIDE classification. The Certificate-of-Title status itself cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC has moderate collision damage concentrated around the rear side door and rear quarter panel. The rear door has a broad inward dent with multiple sharp creases, abrasions, and paint scuffing. The adjacent quarter panel is deformed and scraped around the rear wheel opening. The black wheel-arch trim in this area also appears damaged and displaced. Severe restraint-system damage is visible inside the vehicle. A side-curtain airbag is hanging from the roof-side area above the front seating position, and the side airbag has deployed from the outer side of the visible front passenger seat backrest. Replacement of the deployed airbags and inspection of the associated seat-belt, pretensioner, sensor, wiring, and supplemental-restraint-system components will be required. According to the VIN decoding, this is a Finland-built 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class SUV, identified as a GLC 300-4M. It is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The provided decode does not specify the drivetrain.
