2024 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SEL

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate of title, with “FRONT END” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible missing and broken front-end components support the stated FRONT END damage code; however, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front bumper cover, grille, and both headlamp assemblies are missing. This leaves the bumper reinforcement, cooling assemblies, lower plastic components, mounting areas, wiring, and other internal components exposed. Multiple lower front panels and brackets are broken, displaced, or absent. Both front wheel-arch trims are missing, with exposed fasteners and mounting areas, and the left front corner has fractured and displaced plastic around the wheel opening and fascia. Electrical wiring and connectors are also exposed and hanging in the front fascia and headlamp mounting areas. The vehicle should not be considered roadworthy without a comprehensive structural, mechanical, electrical, cooling-system, restraint-system, and diagnostic inspection. Replacement of the missing components and repair of the damaged wiring and mounting structures will be required; the provided findings do not establish the condition of components behind the visible damage.
