2018 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC GLC 300-4M

The vehicle is listed with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE, and the auction identifies FRONT END as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end collision damage supports the stated FRONT END claim; however, the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from photographs. Severe damage is concentrated across the front center and both front corners. The front bumper cover and grille assembly are cracked, torn, displaced, and partially missing, exposing internal front-end components. Detached and broken black plastic parts are visible on the ground in front of the vehicle, with additional loose material hanging below the front fascia. The central grille has substantial sections missing. The hood has moderate creasing and deformation along its front edge, with an uneven gap above the grille, headlamp, and fender. The front-left headlamp is severely damaged: its lens and housing are shattered and incomplete, with internal components exposed. The front-left fender and wheel-arch area are moderately deformed, and liner or trim material is displaced near the wheel. Inside the vehicle, the driver airbag is visibly deployed from the steering wheel. The driver’s seat upholstery is torn on the cushion and outer bolster, with separated material. Minor dark scuffing is present on the lower sections of the left-side doors, and the left rear bumper corner has light scuff marks and surface abrasions. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class SUV, identified as a GLC 300-4M. It has a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder M274 engine rated at 241 horsepower, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Finland. The decode also identifies front and side airbags, seat-belt pretensioners and load limiters, and direct tire-pressure monitoring. The extent of damage to safety systems, sensors, structural components, mechanical components, and wiring requires physical inspection and cannot be determined from the listed findings alone.
