2019 ACURA MDX SH-AWD TECH 7P

This 2019 Acura MDX is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction’s primary-damage designation is FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports this primary-damage code; however, the salvage-certificate title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front bumper cover is largely detached or missing and has extensive black scuffing, scraped paint, cracked areas, and broken sections. The grille assembly is detached and was observed on the ground with the Acura emblem still attached. The missing bumper, grille, and lower fascia expose the reinforcement bar, radiator area, wiring, mounting structures, and other internal front-end components. Broken and displaced exterior pieces are present at the affected front corner, with exposed mounting areas and a large opening where the bumper assembly should be. The hood has visible creasing and deformation along its front edge and front corner adjacent to the damaged bumper area. The available findings concern visible exterior and front-end damage only; they do not establish the condition of the frame, radiator, cooling system, suspension, steering, airbags, sensors, wiring, engine, transmission, or other mechanical components. A comprehensive physical inspection and diagnostic assessment will be required before repair or road use. According to the VIN decode, this is a 4WD Acura MDX with the SH-AWD TECH 7P trim designation, a 3.5-liter gasoline V6 engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured by American Honda Motor Co. in the United States and is configured as a seven-seat SUV. NHTSA records list several recalls applicable to the 2019 Acura MDX.
