2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON SE (no options)

Auction records designate the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE—SALVAGE” with “VANDALISM” listed as the primary damage. These are auction-reported classifications and are not independently verified by the provided findings. The photo review identified multiple exterior scratches and scuffs, but could not confirm that the damage resulted from vandalism. The salvage-title status also cannot be confirmed from the photos. The visible damage is primarily cosmetic. Moderate scratches and dark or greenish surface marks are present on the left front fender and adjacent bumper area, with no clear panel deformation visible. Several long, irregular scratches extend across the right front and rear door panels, including areas below and between the exterior handles; no clear denting is visible. A minor dark scuff is present on the right front bumper corner below the headlamp. Additional thin, irregular scratches appear on the rear liftgate below the rear window and around the Hyundai emblem. The VIN decodes as a 2017 Hyundai Tucson SUV with front-wheel drive (4x2), a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea and is identified as an SE trim with no options in the supplied data. NHTSA records list three recalls associated with 2017 Tucson vehicles: an accessory trailer-hitch wiring harness issue that may cause the trailer brake lights to remain illuminated; a connecting-rod-bearing issue that may lead to engine damage, stalling, or fire; and an HECU issue that may cause an electrical short and engine-compartment fire. The completion status of these recalls for this vehicle should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase.
