2021 HYUNDAI VENUE SEL & Denim

The 2021 Hyundai Venue carries a salvage certificate of title, according to the auction record. The auction lists FRONT END as the primary damage code. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end damage supports this code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The front corner has severe collision damage. The fender is heavily crushed and deformed, with the wheel-well area exposed. The front bumper cover is cracked, torn, and detached from the body, with a black bumper section hanging outward. The lower front lighting assembly area has a large open cavity, broken surrounding trim, and exposed internal components. The hood edge at the same corner is raised and uneven, and the wheel-arch and wheel-well trim is incomplete or detached, leaving additional components exposed. The available VIN decode identifies this vehicle as a South Korea-built 2021 Hyundai Venue wagon with front-wheel drive, a 1.6-liter gasoline Gamma II engine, and a continuously variable transmission. The decoded trim is listed as SEL & Denim. Factory-listed safety equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, electronic stability control, forward collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, rear cross-traffic alert, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, and a rear visibility system. The extent and operational condition of these systems cannot be determined from the provided damage findings. NHTSA records list a front seat-belt pretensioner recall for this vehicle. Recall 22V458000 states that the front driver- and/or passenger-side pretensioners may project metal fragments if they deploy; the remedy is to secure the pretensioners with a cap at no charge. This recall expands and replaces recall 21V796000 for Venue vehicles, so recall-completion status should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer. Because the damage is concentrated at the front corner and includes exposed wheel-well and internal components, a physical inspection should confirm the condition of the underlying structure, suspension, steering, wheel, lighting, restraint systems, wiring, and alignment before purchase. Repair cost and roadworthiness cannot be determined from the supplied findings alone.
