2018 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT Sport Base

The auction record lists the vehicle condition as “Certificate of Title” and identifies hail as the primary damage. However, Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence contradicts the hail-damage claim: the hood, roof, and rear hatch appear largely smooth, without the dense pattern of small shallow dents typically expected from hail. The title condition itself cannot be verified from photographs. The visible damage is limited to multiple light-colored linear abrasions and scuffed paint on the left front bumper corner near the adjacent wheel arch. This is classified as minor cosmetic damage. No other damage findings were provided. The vehicle is a 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport SUV with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline GDI Theta II engine and 4x2 drivetrain. The VIN decode identifies the Sport Base trim and indicates that it was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. NHTSA records list four recalls applicable to the 2018 Santa Fe Sport: a front coil-spring fracture issue, two ABS-module electrical-fire recalls, and a side-curtain-airbag deployment issue. Recall completion should be confirmed with Hyundai or an authorised dealer before purchase.
