2023 HYUNDAI VENUE SEL, Limited

The auction record lists the vehicle as **Salvage** with **Left Side** as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the Left Side classification, with substantial deformation and scuffing on the left rear door and adjacent quarter panel. Stage 1 also notes that the Salvage title status cannot be confirmed or contradicted from exterior photographs alone. The main damage is concentrated on the left rear door and left rear quarter panel. The rear portion of the door is deeply crushed and sharply creased, with deformation continuing into the quarter panel, wheel-arch area, and surrounding lower bodywork. The affected areas also show damaged or missing paint and scuffing. Broad horizontal gray and white scratches or paint transfer extend across the left front and rear doors and lower side panels. Additional minor paint chips are visible on the hood, left front fender, front bumper, and around the left headlamp area. The VIN decodes as a 2023 Hyundai Venue, listed as a five-door wagon manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. It is equipped with a 1.6-liter gasoline GAMMA II engine and a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The decoded vehicle data lists standard ABS, electronic stability and traction control, front and curtain airbags, forward collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rear visibility system. The exterior findings indicate substantial left-side collision damage in addition to widespread cosmetic paint chipping. A complete inspection should verify the condition of the left rear door structure, quarter panel, wheel-arch area, hinges, door operation, surrounding suspension and wheel components, alignment, sensors, wiring, and any related safety systems before purchase.
