2021 HYUNDAI VENUE SEL & Denim

The auction record lists the vehicle with a SCRAP CERTIFICATE OF TITLE and identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. The visible front-corner damage supports the FRONT END classification. Exterior photographs cannot confirm or contradict the SCRAP CERTIFICATE OF TITLE classification. The front corner has severe collision damage. A section of the front bumper cover and adjacent fascia is missing, leaving open gaps and exposing internal components around the headlamp area. The remaining bumper and fascia edges are fractured and separated, with a black trim section hanging away from the body. The front fender is severely creased and deformed above and behind the wheel opening, with irregular edges near the hood and lamp assembly. Additional bumper-cover and wheel-arch trim is missing, exposing blue-colored internal material and open mounting areas. The hood edge is raised above the damaged fender, creating an uneven gap. A gray exterior body panel is also lying beside the vehicle; it has scuffing, abrasions, and broken or separated attachment material. The VIN identifies this as a 2021 Hyundai Venue, a front-wheel-drive wagon equipped with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine and continuously variable transmission. Factory safety equipment listed by the VIN decoder includes front, side, and curtain airbags, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rear-visibility system. The condition of these systems cannot be determined from the listed exterior findings. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for the Venue concerning the front seat-belt pretensioners. Recall 21V796000 was replaced for Venue vehicles by recall 22V458000, which concerns pretensioners that may project metal fragments if they explode during deployment. The remedy is to secure the pretensioners with a cap at no charge. Recall completion for this vehicle should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the VIN. The visible damage warrants a thorough physical inspection before purchase, including the front structural area, lighting, cooling and electrical components, suspension and steering, restraint systems, and operation of the hood and adjoining panels. Repair requirements and roadworthiness cannot be determined from these findings alone.
