2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC GLC300 Base-4M

The vehicle is a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class, identified by VIN WDC0G4KB7HV006551. The auction record lists a Certificate of Salvage and classifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end damage code because the front bumper, headlamps, grille, and related front trim are missing. The Certificate of Salvage status itself cannot be confirmed from photos alone. Severe damage is concentrated at the front of the vehicle. The front bumper assembly, center fascia, grille, multiple trim and duct pieces, and both headlamp assemblies are absent. This leaves the radiator area, internal components, mounting points, and wiring exposed. The visible findings do not establish the condition of the exposed components or confirm whether additional structural, cooling, electrical, or mechanical damage is present. Paint abrasion and chipping are visible along the leading edge of the hood and around the left front fender and headlamp opening. A light-colored scraped area extends across part of the hood’s front edge. Inside the vehicle, the right rear seat cushion and seatback have light scuffing and localized surface abrasion. According to the VIN decoding, this is a gasoline-powered GLC300 Base-4M SUV with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder M274 engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Finland. The decoder identifies standard equipment including ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward collision warning, rear visibility, and front and side-curtain airbag systems; some other equipment is listed as optional. A complete inspection should be carried out before purchase, with particular attention to the exposed front-end components, wiring, cooling system, mounting points, safety systems, and the vehicle’s ability to start and operate.
