2021 KIA SORENTO SX, SXP

The 2021 Kia Sorento is listed with a NON-REPAIRABLE CERTIFICATE, and the auction’s primary damage designation is ROLLOVER. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive damage across the roof, windshield, rear glass, left side, rear body, and front bumper is consistent with the stated ROLLOVER/ALL OVER damage. Stage 1 also notes that the NON-REPAIRABLE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The vehicle has severe structural and exterior damage. The roof panel, roof rails, and both rear roof edges are crushed and deformed, with distortion around the rear liftgate opening. The windshield is extensively cracked and shattered, including a large collapsed or missing section near the upper center. The rear liftgate glass is missing, with broken glass remnants around the opening. Both visible left-side doors and the left rear quarter panel are heavily dented, creased, scraped, and deformed. The left rear wheel-arch area is crushed with exposed inner surfaces and torn panel edges. The left exterior mirror is detached and hanging, while multiple door handles, trim pieces, rocker moldings, and other exterior components are detached or missing. The left rear lamp assembly is absent. At the rear, the liftgate is creased with uneven gaps, the upper surround is bent, and the right rear bumper corner has a broken or missing section. Numerous broken or detached exterior, grille, molding, and glass-related components are visible on the ground. At the front, the bumper cover has large missing and broken sections, exposing internal components and wiring. The lower grille, corner trim, and adjacent lamp-surround components are also broken or missing. The front upper trim near the center latch opening is damaged. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag and lower dashboard or knee airbag are visibly deployed. The available findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, drivetrain, suspension, steering, braking system, electrical system, or passenger-compartment structure. A comprehensive physical inspection, including restraint-system diagnostics and structural measurement, would be required before any repair or road-use assessment. The VIN decodes as a U.S.-built 2021 Kia Sorento SUV with 4WD, a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and three rows with six seats. The decoded equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability and traction control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, and a rear-visibility system. These systems and their sensors should be assumed to require inspection following the rollover damage. NHTSA records list recalls 21V519000 for a possible high-pressure fuel-pipe leak on vehicles with the 2.5-liter turbocharged engine, 22V703000 concerning a possible electrical short in an original or dealer-installed tow-hitch harness, 22V760000 concerning possible loss of drive power related to the automatic transmission oil pump fail-safe function, and 25V649000 concerning HVAC blower-motor wiring that may result in a fire. Recall repair completion should be verified by VIN with Kia or NHTSA, and any outstanding repairs should be completed before operation.
