2015 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT GL

The auction record identifies this vehicle as having a salvage vehicle title, with FRONT END listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the FRONT END classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed or contradicted from photographs alone. The most significant damage is concentrated at one front corner. The bumper cover is severely torn and missing sections, the lower fascia is separated, and internal components are exposed. One headlamp assembly is missing, leaving an open cavity. The adjacent front fender and bumper junction are deformed and displaced, with irregular panel edges around the headlamp and wheel arch. The wheel-arch liner and trim are separated or missing, exposing inner components and broken material. The rocker molding is missing along the visible side, with mounting holes and attachment points exposed. The hood has multiple scratches and areas of chipped or missing paint. At the rear, the quarter panel has a moderate dent and crease extending around the fuel-filler area toward the wheel arch, along with additional light scratches. The rear bumper has light scuffing. Inside, the outer side of the front seatback has a large torn opening with exposed inner material and displaced upholstery. A check-engine warning light is visibly illuminated in the instrument cluster. This indicates a possible engine or emissions-related fault, but the available information does not identify the cause or confirm a mechanical failure. A complete diagnostic scan and mechanical inspection are recommended, including checks of the cooling system, front structural and suspension components, wiring, lighting, restraint systems, and any damage behind the visible body panels. The VIN decodes as a 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport GL sport utility vehicle with front-wheel drive (4x2), a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline direct-injection DOHC engine, built by Kia Motor Manufacturing in Georgia, United States. The transmission type is not provided. NHTSA records list recalls affecting this model and year, including a secondary hood-latch cable recall and ABS-module recalls related to possible brake-fluid leakage, electrical shorting, and increased fire risk. The ABS recalls include a superseding campaign, so recall completion should be verified with Hyundai using the VIN before operation. The hood-latch repair status should also be confirmed.
