2018 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC GLC 300-4M

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC is listed with a permit-salvage condition and “FRONT END” as the auction’s primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end damage supports the FRONT END classification; the permit-salvage status is administrative and cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood is extensively crushed, with sharp creases and deformation across the front and both front corners. The front bumper cover is missing from its installed position, with detached components hanging from the vehicle, and a separate white-and-black bumper assembly is visible on the ground in front of it. The grille surround and associated trim are detached and hanging across the front. The right front headlamp is missing, leaving the mounting area and internal front-end components exposed. The left front fender and the panel surrounding the left headlamp are visibly creased and deformed. Black lower-front panels and trim are detached or hanging below the vehicle, with additional front-end components exposed behind them. Both front airbags have deployed: the driver airbag is protruding from the steering wheel, and the passenger airbag is protruding from the dashboard. According to the VIN decode, this is a Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class SUV, VIN WDC0G4KBXJV055717, equipped with a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and the GLC 300-4M trim designation. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Finland. The drivetrain is not specified in the supplied decode. The visible damage indicates that substantial repairs will be required, including front-end body and trim replacement, headlamp replacement, inspection of underlying structural and mechanical components, and replacement and system-level servicing of the deployed restraint components. A complete inspection should be carried out before estimating the final repair scope.
