2021 MAZDA 3 Mazda3

The auction records list the vehicle as having a **Certificate of Salvage**, with **“FRONT END”** as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end damage supports the auction’s “FRONT END” code; however, the Certificate of Salvage status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The main damage is concentrated at the front-left corner. The front-left fender is severely crushed and creased, with an irregular contour extending rearward from the wheel opening. The front-left bumper cover and fascia are torn, displaced, and separated from the surrounding body panels, leaving open gaps and exposed areas. The front-left headlamp area is heavily disrupted, and the headlamp assembly is not visibly present. The leading edge of the hood is moderately deformed, uneven, and raised above the grille area, particularly at the left corner. At the left rear quarter panel, the exterior fuel-filler door is missing, leaving the filler opening and internal components exposed. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2021 Mazda3 sedan with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, six-speed automatic transmission, and 4x2 drivetrain. It was manufactured by Mazda Motor Manufacturing de Mexico in Salamanca, Mexico. The decoded equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability and traction control, front and side airbags, curtain airbags for both rows, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, and a rear visibility system. The findings describe substantial visible collision damage. They do not establish the condition of hidden structural, suspension, steering, cooling, lighting, restraint, or mechanical components, all of which should be physically inspected before purchase or repair approval.
