2018 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT Sport Base

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a “CERT OF TITLE-REPOSSESSION” condition and identifies the primary damage as “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible front-bumper damage supports the stated FRONT END classification. The repossession-related title condition cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The main observed damage is a moderate break in the right side of the front bumper cover, beside the license-plate mount. A section is missing, leaving an irregular opening with chipped edges and dark and brown-colored material visible behind it. The front hood edge beside the left headlamp has a minor paint chip exposing a darker underlayer. Light surface scuffing is also visible on the lower black rear bumper cladding. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport SUV with front-wheel drive (4x2), a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States by Kia Georgia, Inc. NHTSA records list four recalls for this vehicle model and year: front coil springs that may fracture and puncture a tire; two ABS-module-related recalls involving a potential electrical short and engine-compartment fire risk; and side-curtain air bags that may not deploy properly if a component detaches. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the VIN before purchase. A physical inspection is also recommended to assess the bumper structure and any components behind the damaged cover, as well as the vehicle’s overall mechanical and safety condition.
