2020 HYUNDAI VENUE SE

The vehicle is a 2020 Hyundai Venue SE, identified by VIN KMHRB8A31LU014295. Factory data identifies it as a wagon powered by a 1.6-liter MPI Gamma II gasoline engine, manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea. The auction lists the vehicle with a “LIEN PAPERS SALVAGE” condition and “REAR END” as the primary damage. The visible damage supports the unverified rear-end damage classification; however, the lien-papers salvage designation cannot be confirmed from the available photographs. The primary damage is concentrated at the left rear corner. The left rear bumper cover is missing, with internal components exposed and torn plastic surrounding the corner. Multiple bumper components are fractured or displaced, including a loose piece hanging below the vehicle. The body below and beside the left tail lamp is crushed or displaced, with components exposed behind the corner. Trim and body sections around the lower left rear lamp are also broken or missing, and exposed wiring or other components is visible. The lower left portion of the rear hatch is deformed and creased, with paint scuffing along its lower edge. Additional minor cosmetic damage includes surface scuffs on the left front and rear doors, abrasion marks along the lower left doors and rocker-panel area, and scratches on the lower front bumper. The instrument cluster shows multiple illuminated warning indicators, including ABS, tire-pressure, stability-control, brake, steering, restraint, and check-engine symbols. A system-check message is also displayed. These warnings require diagnostic scanning and physical inspection before the vehicle is considered roadworthy; the available findings do not establish the underlying causes. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this vehicle model and year: recall 22V458000, concerning the front seat-belt pretensioners. Under certain crash conditions, a pretensioner may explode and project metal fragments into the cabin. The stated remedy is for a dealer to secure the pretensioners with protective caps at no charge. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer. A thorough inspection should include the rear body structure, hatch alignment and latch, tail-lamp area, exposed wiring and components, bumper mounting points, restraint systems, braking and stability-control systems, and all illuminated warning systems.
