2025 HYUNDAI SANTA FE XRT

The auction record identifies this 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe as having a public salvage title, with “FRONT END” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end damage classification because substantial damage is visible to the hood, fender, bumper, and headlamp area. However, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The most significant damage is concentrated on the driver’s-side front end. The hood is severely buckled and creased, with an uneven raised surface and an open gap next to the fender. The front fender and wheel-arch area are substantially crushed, with torn edges, open gaps, and exposed inner areas around the wheel. The driver’s-side front bumper corner is fractured and displaced, with missing exterior material and exposed mounting or inner components. The headlamp housing and adjacent trim are damaged, with broken or displaced pieces and an irregular open gap; the full condition of the lamp lens is unclear. The forward section of the driver’s-side front door also has moderate creasing and deformation. Additional damage is present on the driver’s-side rear quarter. This panel has a large recessed dent with multiple sharp creases extending around the wheel arch toward the rear lamp area. Exterior trim or bumper-cover material is missing at the rear wheel-arch junction, leaving inner components visible, and the driver’s-side rear bumper corner has a broken edge and open gap. The VIN decodes as a 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe XRT SUV with 4WD, a 2.5-litre turbocharged gasoline T-GDI Theta III engine, and U.S. manufacture by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama. These specifications do not confirm the condition or operation of any mechanical, structural, restraint, lighting, or driver-assistance systems after the damage. A complete physical inspection should include the front and rear body structure, suspension and steering components, wheel and tire areas, cooling and engine-bay components, wiring, lighting, airbags, sensors, alignment, and the operation of all vehicle systems. NHTSA records list recalls for certain 2025 Santa Fe vehicles involving engine connecting-rod bolts, the starter-motor positive-terminal cover, the rearview-camera wiring harness, side-curtain air-bag installation, and front seat-belt anchors. Recall applicability and completion should be confirmed by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase.
