2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC GLC300 Base-4M

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction identifies the primary damage as front-end damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this front-end classification: the front bumper cover, grille, both headlamp assemblies, and both front fender panels are missing, leaving front-end components exposed. The salvage-title status itself cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front bumper cover and grille are absent, exposing the reinforcement bar and cooling components. Both headlamp assemblies are missing, leaving open cavities at the front corners. The outer panels of both front fenders are missing, with inner wheel-well components and metal visible. The leading edge of the hood has a localized crease or deformation and an uneven profile. Additional exterior damage includes a pronounced horizontal dent and dark scrape marks on the lower front door, along with a long crease, scraped paint, and discoloration on the lower rear door. A section of the rocker or lower side trim is missing or detached, exposing underlying components and metal. Inside, the center-console armrest has extensive peeling, cracking, and deterioration of its outer finish. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class SUV, specifically a GLC300 Base-4M, built in Germany. It is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine, rated at 241 horsepower. The decoded data also lists front, side, and curtain airbag locations, as well as seat-belt pretensioners and load limiters. Mechanical operation, hidden structural damage, cooling-system condition, electrical systems, restraint-system status, and the completeness of any required replacement parts are not established by the provided findings and should be verified through a thorough physical inspection.
