2024 HYUNDAI VENUE SE

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title and identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. The auction’s salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the available photographs. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification through extensive damage involving the front bumper, hood, headlamp, fender, and exposed front structural components. The 2024 Hyundai Venue has severe front-end collision damage. The front bumper cover and grille are missing, exposing the radiator and front internal components. A detached red-and-black bumper assembly is also shown lying on the ground. The hood is creased and deformed along the front edge and both corners, with a large gap above the front-end components. The headlamp assembly on the image-right side is broken, with its lens and internal components exposed and separated. The front left fender is heavily crushed around the wheel opening and rear edge. The front left door has multiple creases and deformation near its front and lower-middle sections. The left exterior mirror is missing, and the wheel-arch trim and inner liner are loose and hanging away from the damaged fender. Exposed front plastic support and air-management components have broken edges, separated sections, and displaced pieces. Multiple airbags have deployed, including the driver steering-wheel airbag, the passenger dashboard airbag, and the curtain airbags along the left roof and side-window area. Replacement of the affected airbags and inspection of the restraint system will be required. According to the VIN decode, this is a Venue SE wagon built in South Korea with a 1.6-liter gasoline GAMMA II engine. The decode lists standard front and curtain airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, and other driver-assistance features; their current condition and operation cannot be determined from the findings. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this vehicle: campaign 24V308000, involving a possible electrical short in the exhaust gas recirculation valve assembly that may cause loss of drive power. Hyundai’s remedy is replacement of the EGR valve assembly at no charge. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer. The supplied findings document extensive collision damage and deployed safety restraints, but they do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, cooling system, steering, suspension, or underlying structural components. A comprehensive physical inspection and verification of repairability, parts availability, airbag-system integrity, and recall completion are recommended before purchase.
