2024 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SE

This 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe is listed with a salvage title, with the auction’s stated primary damage recorded as “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, noting severe crushing and deformation at the tailgate, rear bumper, and both rear corner areas. The right rear quarter and bumper corner have extensive creasing and deformation. Exterior trim and bumper-cover sections are missing, exposing mounting openings and inner surfaces around the rear wheel arch and bumper corner. The left rear corner is also severely crumpled around the rear lamp area, quarter panel, and bumper corner, with underlying components exposed where exterior sections are absent. The tailgate outer panel is deeply crushed across its lower and central sections, with pronounced creases and buckling around the Hyundai emblem, model lettering, and licence-plate recess. The rear bumper cover is heavily crushed across its full width, with deep creases, irregular lower edges, and separated or missing sections. The findings describe visible exterior collision damage only. The condition of concealed structural, mechanical, electrical, restraint, camera, and other components is not established by these findings and should be checked through a thorough physical inspection and repair assessment.
