2019 KIA SORENTO L, LX, S

The vehicle is a 2019 Kia Sorento, VIN 5XYPG4A55KG489388. The NHTSA VIN decode identifies it as a 4x2 SUV/MPV built in the United States, with a 3.3-liter gasoline V6 engine and a reported output of 290 horsepower. The auction records list the vehicle as having a salvage title, with “rear end” recorded as the primary damage. Visible damage at the left rear bumper supports the reported rear-end damage classification. However, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The left rear bumper corner and lower bumper cover show severe damage, including extensive black scuffing, paint transfer, deep gouging, cracking, tearing, and an opening with an irregular lower edge. The available findings are limited to the bumper area and do not establish the condition of the underlying body structure, rear impact components, exhaust system, sensors, wiring, or other mechanical parts. A comprehensive physical inspection is recommended before purchase. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this model year. Recall 22V703000 concerns certain vehicles equipped with an original-equipment or Kia-dealer-installed tow-hitch harness; moisture and debris may cause an electrical short and increase the risk of fire. Recall 23V639000 concerns the rearview camera, where water intrusion may cause the camera image to fail. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Kia before the vehicle is operated or purchased.
