2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC GLC 300-4M

This 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC is listed with a certificate of title marked salvage, with the auction’s unverified primary-damage classification recorded as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim: the hood, bumper, grille, front fender, and front-corner components are visibly damaged or missing. Stage 1 also notes additional damage to a rear quarter panel and the lower rear bumper trim. The front end has severe collision damage. The front bumper cover, central grille, and other fascia components are missing or displaced, exposing the radiator, front support areas, mounting points, wiring, and other internal components. Torn and detached plastic is visible along the lower front edge. The hood is heavily buckled, with multiple creases, raised sections, an irregular leading edge, and damaged gaps. One front corner is severely damaged, with displaced metal and trim, exposed internal components, and a missing headlamp assembly. The front fender around the wheel opening is crushed and torn, with the wheel-arch covering absent or displaced and the inner area exposed. The available findings do not establish the condition of the radiator, engine, suspension, steering, drivetrain, or other components behind the visible damage. White airbag fabric is visibly deployed from the steering wheel and dashboard area, with additional deployed fabric near the driver-side lower interior. This indicates that the restraint system will require assessment and likely replacement of deployed components, although the complete condition of the safety systems cannot be determined from these findings alone. At the rear, the quarter panel above and ahead of the rear wheel has large creases, sharp folds, and scraped paint. The surrounding wheel-arch and quarter-panel trim is displaced and damaged. A lower section of the rear bumper also has a rectangular opening with broken or missing trim. Light scuffing and dirt-related marks are present along the lower door and rocker areas. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class GLC 300 4M SUV with all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was built in Finland. Due to the extensive front-end damage, missing lighting and fascia components, deployed airbags, and additional rear-body damage, a comprehensive inspection of the structure, mechanical systems, wiring, restraint system, and alignment will be necessary before repair or road use.
