2021 HYUNDAI ACCENT SE & SEL

The auction lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate, with “FRONT END” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end damage classification, with extensive front damage and missing components. The salvage-certificate status itself cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The 2021 Hyundai Accent has severe collision damage concentrated at the front. The hood is deeply crushed and heavily creased across its front edge, with pronounced deformation at both corners and an uneven gap to the fender. The front bumper cover, grille, and both headlamp assemblies are missing from the vehicle; the detached bumper cover and grille are shown separately, with the bumper cover exhibiting large broken sections, extensive cracking, and torn edges. The exposed front corners and fender edges are broken and irregular around the headlamp openings. The front reinforcement is visibly bowed, while the radiator support and other front structural mounting areas appear displaced and deformed. The exposed radiator and condenser areas show bent cooling fins, irregular edges, and displaced components. Wiring, reinforcement, cooling components, and mounting structures are exposed. The front fender has a broken edge near the missing headlamp area, with exposed inner components and torn plastic material. At the rear, the trunk lid has moderate inward creasing and uneven deformation across its central lower section. Its lower edge is bowed above the rear bumper. A minor light-colored scuff or paint-transfer mark is also visible on the front door outer panel. According to the VIN decode, this is a left-hand-drive, front-wheel-drive sedan built in Mexico, equipped with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine. The decoded trim is SE & SEL, and the vehicle is listed with standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, curtain airbags for the first and second rows, front and side airbags, and a rear visibility system. The VIN decoded cleanly with a valid check digit. NHTSA records show recalls for the brake master cylinder (21V937000), front seat-belt pretensioners (22V354000, which replaces earlier related seat-belt campaigns), and the steering-column lower universal-joint retention bolt (22V311000). The listed remedies involve replacing the brake master cylinder, securing the seat-belt pretensioners with a cap, and inspecting and tightening the steering-column bolt as necessary. Recall completion and the condition of these systems should be verified before the vehicle is operated. Given the extent of the front-end damage, missing safety and lighting components, visible deformation of the reinforcement and support areas, and additional trunk-lid damage, a comprehensive structural, mechanical, cooling-system, electrical, restraint-system, and alignment inspection is recommended before purchase.
