2021 JEEP RENEGADE SPORT 4X4

This 2021 Jeep Renegade is listed in the auction record with a “SALVAGE CERTIFICATE” condition and a primary damage classification of “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the extensive visible damage on the vehicle’s left side supports the SIDE classification, while noting that the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The visible damage is concentrated along the left front and rear doors. Both door panels have extensive broad dents, deep creases, and irregular deformation across their lower and middle sections. The left front fender is missing, exposing the wheel-well area and surrounding mounting structure. The left front bumper corner has broken and missing sections, with internal brackets and components exposed. The lower front bumper cover also has an open, broken section on the left side. The left-side rocker and lower-door trim is missing, leaving mounting points and unfinished panel edges exposed. Wheel-arch trim around the left front wheel is also absent, with attachment holes and panel edges visible. According to the VIN decoding, this is a left-hand-drive, all-wheel-drive SUV with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and seating for five. The vehicle was manufactured by FCA Italy at the SATA Assembly plant in Melfi, Italy. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this 2021 Jeep Renegade. Recall 24V510000 concerns a potentially improperly connected seat-belt buckle switch sensor that may prevent the front passenger or driver air bag from deploying as intended. Recall 24V918000 concerns the possible installation of an incorrect bumper reverse-light assembly, which may reduce visibility and fail to properly alert others while reversing. Recall completion should be verified with an authorized Jeep dealer using the VIN. The provided findings document substantial exterior collision damage on the left side and front corner. They do not establish the condition of the underlying structure, suspension, steering, wheel, braking, air-bag system, lighting, or mechanical components. A thorough physical inspection and repair estimate are recommended before purchase.
