2026 HYUNDAI TUCSON SEL, SEL Plus

The auction record identifies this 2026 Hyundai Tucson as “MV907A – Parts Only w/Lienholder,” with “REAR END” listed as the primary damage. The provided photo-based assessment states that the visible evidence supports the rear-end damage classification. It also states that the parts-only and lienholder condition designation cannot be verified from the photographs. The vehicle has severe collision damage concentrated at the rear. The rear liftgate is extensively crushed and deeply creased through the center and lower sections, including significant distortion around the license-plate recess. The lower liftgate edge is bent and separated from adjacent trim. The rear bumper assembly is severely damaged across its width, with the greatest damage on the right side. The bumper cover is heavily deformed, split, displaced, and torn open at the right corner. A large lower bumper section is detached and hanging below the vehicle, while internal components behind the bumper are exposed. The lower bumper trim has cracks, breaks, missing sections, and separated pieces. The visible rear corner and adjacent bumper area are also deformed and separated from the body. The available findings describe visible exterior damage only. The condition of the underlying body structure, rear impact absorbers, sensors, wiring, liftgate mechanisms, exhaust system, chassis alignment, and mechanical components is not established and would require a thorough physical inspection. The vehicle should not be assumed to be roadworthy until repaired and inspected.
