2024 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SE

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE” condition and identifies “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-left wheel and tire displacement, together with abrasion on the front-left exterior, supports the auction’s unverified front-end damage claim. The certificate-of-title status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The most significant visible damage is at the front-left wheel area. The wheel and tire assembly is displaced from its normal position and resting outside the wheel opening, with the hub and brake components exposed. This indicates severe damage requiring comprehensive inspection of the suspension, steering, wheel hub, brake system, and surrounding structural mounting points. The front-left fender edge and wheel-arch trim also show multiple light-colored scrape and abrasion marks. White side-curtain airbag fabric is hanging from the right-side roof area beside both the front passenger seat and the rear passenger seating, indicating deployment of the right-side curtain restraint system. The complete restraint system, related sensors, wiring, headliner, and interior mounting areas should be inspected and properly repaired or replaced before the vehicle is considered roadworthy.
