2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC GLC300

The auction lists this vehicle as having a salvage title, with “REAR END” identified as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the rear-end damage classification, with severe damage at the rear bumper, tailgate, right rear quarter panel, and right rear lamp area. The salvage-title status itself cannot be confirmed from exterior photos. The rear bumper assembly is severely torn and partially detached, particularly on the right side and across the lower rear. Large sections of the bumper cover are missing or hanging below the vehicle, exposing black internal components and loose wiring. The lower tailgate and license-plate area have broad creasing and deformation. The right rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area are extensively crushed and creased, with paint transfer and irregular deformation around the rear lamp. The right taillight area is separated, with broken surrounding body material and an irregular gap between adjacent panels. Additional moderate damage is visible at the front. The hood has a pronounced raised and creased deformation along its leading edge, most noticeable toward the center-right above the grille. The lower front bumper trim and chrome insert are cracked, distorted, and partially separated around the lower air openings. Minor dark scuffing and surface abrasion are also present on the front bumper corner near the lower air intake. A physical inspection is recommended to assess structural components, wiring, lighting systems, sensors, tailgate operation, bumper mounting points, and any damage not visible in the provided findings.
