Used car2021 Hyundai VenueS 1.2 Kappa petrol, manual“A genuinely low-mileage car, and an honest one”No repaint on any panel, no accident history, one owner, and 16,520 km confirmed on the cluster.

What we hid, and why
These cars belong to real people. The grey boxes cover the registration number (in text and in photos), owner, chassis, engine and policy numbers, the lender, insurer and dealer, where the inspection happened and who did it. The opening section of photos and documents is left out because it is mostly RC and insurance papers. Every finding, reading, score and sentence is untouched.
