2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title with “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible hood deformation and front bumper scuffing support the stated front-end damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be independently confirmed from the photos. Visible damage includes moderate deformation along the leading edge of the hood. The hood is raised and uneven, with a pronounced crease and an irregular gap extending across the grille and headlamp area. Minor dark scrape marks and surface scuffing are present on the lower front bumper trim and adjacent painted surfaces. The driver’s airbag is visibly deployed from the steering wheel, with additional airbag fabric hanging below the steering column. This indicates significant restraint-system involvement. The condition of other airbags, seat-belt pretensioners, structural components, steering, cooling systems, and mechanical systems is not established by the provided findings and should be inspected before purchase. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport SUV/MPV, VIN 5NMZU3LB6HH006603.
