2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC GLC300-4M

The vehicle is a 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class SUV, VIN W1N0G8EB4MF881284. NHTSA VIN data identifies it as a GLC300-4M with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, four cylinders, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz in Germany. The auction record lists a salvage certificate with “greater than 75% damage” and identifies the primary damage as front-end damage. These are auction classifications and should not be treated as independently verified damage measurements. Stage 1 reports that the visible photos support the front-end primary-damage category, but do not substantiate the claimed damage extent of more than 75%. The documented damage is concentrated at the front-right corner. The front-right bumper has broken and missing plastic sections, with loose material and internal components exposed around the wheel arch and lower front area. The front-right headlamp assembly is missing, leaving an open cavity with internal components visible. The front-right grille and bumper area is also incomplete, with broken plastic edges and exposed parts. Plastic around the front-right wheel arch is displaced or missing. The visible damage is severe in the bumper, grille, and headlamp areas, with moderate damage noted to the wheel-arch plastic. Replacement of the missing components and inspection of the exposed front-end structure, mounting points, lighting systems, wiring, sensors, and related mechanical components will be required before the vehicle’s full repair scope and roadworthiness can be assessed.
