2021 MAZDA 3

The auction lists the vehicle with a **SALVAGE VEHICLE TITLE** and **FRONT END** as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end damage supports the auction’s unverified FRONT END claim. However, the SALVAGE VEHICLE TITLE status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The 2021 Mazda3 sedan has severe collision damage concentrated at the front. The hood is heavily deformed, with deep folds, sharp creases, raised sections, torn edges, and exposed orange-colored areas. The front bumper cover and grille are crushed, fractured, displaced, and partially detached. The front corner and fender area are collapsed around the headlamp and wheel-arch region, with exposed internal components and deformed metal and plastic. One headlamp assembly has a broken housing and missing or displaced sections. The front engine-bay and radiator-support area also show bent and crushed components, broken mounting points, and displacement. A driver airbag is deployed from the steering wheel, with additional deployed restraint fabric visible near the lower driver-side dashboard and roof-side area. The vehicle should not be considered roadworthy without a comprehensive structural, mechanical, electrical, and restraint-system inspection and the necessary repairs. There are also minor abrasions on both lower rear bumper corners. According to the VIN decode, this is a Japan-built 2021 Mazda3 sedan with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, six-speed automatic transmission, and 4x2 drivetrain. The decoded equipment includes front, side, knee, and curtain airbags, along with systems such as blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, and dynamic brake support. These systems may require inspection, calibration, or replacement following the collision.
