2015 LEXUS NX 200t Luxury

The 2015 Lexus NX is listed in the auction records with a salvage title and “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. The visible severe front-end damage supports the stated FRONT END claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The front end is extensively deformed, with crushed and distorted sheet metal, displaced body panels, and exposed internal components. The hood is deeply creased and folded, particularly at the left-front corner. The front bumper cover and grille are missing, while detached and broken bumper sections, trim pieces, and the wheel-arch liner are visible below and around the front of the vehicle. The front lighting assemblies are displaced or absent, with broken mounting areas and exposed wiring. Metal and plastic components in the lower front support and left-front corner are visibly bent, broken, or displaced. The left front fender and wheel-arch area are heavily crushed, with missing trim and exposed components. Multiple airbags are deployed inside the cabin, including the steering-wheel and dashboard airbags, the left roof-side curtain airbag, and a side airbag on the outer side of the front passenger seat. The instrument cluster shows a check-engine warning and red restraint-system warning indicators while powered on. The black center armrest covering has multiple large tears with the underlying material exposed. Additional damage is visible at the rear. The center trim around the rear license-plate mounting area is missing, exposing mounting points and wiring. The left rear quarter panel is crushed and creased above and forward of the wheel, and the upper rear hatch spoiler is lifted and partially separated from its mounting area. According to the NHTSA VIN decode, this is a Lexus NX sport utility vehicle produced in Japan by Toyota Motor Kyushu, with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine (engine model 8AR-FTS), 4x2 drive, and the decoded 200t Luxury trim. The VIN is JTJYARBZ2F2012712. An NHTSA safety recall, campaign 18V085000, applies to 2015–2016 Lexus NX 200T, NX Turbo, and NX 300h vehicles. The recall concerns airbag pressure and/or acceleration sensors that may fail and prevent the side, curtain, or front airbags from deploying in a crash. The supplied information does not establish whether the recall repair was completed on this vehicle. Given the extensive collision damage and deployed restraint systems, a complete structural, mechanical, electrical, and airbag-system inspection will be required before repair or road use.
