2023 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC GLC300

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate of title, with “SIDE” recorded as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible damage supports the SIDE classification because substantial damage is present on the left rear door and adjacent side sill; however, the salvage certificate status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The left rear door has a large, severe inward dent with multiple sharp creases across the lower and middle sections. The adjacent lower side sill is visibly deformed and has dark scuffing. The front windshield has multiple branching cracks across the upper and central areas. A curtain airbag is visibly deployed and hanging from the roof area above the left-side seating, indicating that the restraint system requires inspection and likely repair or replacement. A thorough physical inspection should be completed to assess possible structural, electrical, restraint-system, glass, and door-function issues, as well as the full extent of repairs required.
