2024 MAZDA 3 Select Sport Package

The 2024 Mazda3 is listed with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE condition and REAR END as the auction’s primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the REAR END classification because the rear bumper corner is visibly broken. The SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The documented exterior damage is a moderate break in the rear bumper cover at the corner adjacent to the visible rear wheel. The bumper has a jagged damaged area, a visible opening, and missing material. No other damage is documented in the provided findings. A significant concern is the SRS/airbag system. The instrument cluster reportedly displays “Air Bag System Malfunction. Have the Vehicle Inspected,” and the airbag warning indicator is illuminated. This should be diagnosed and repaired before the vehicle is operated, including inspection of the airbag system, sensors, wiring, and related restraint components. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a Japan-built 2024 Mazda3 hatchback/liftback/notchback with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic six-speed transmission, and 4x2 drive. The decoded output lists a Select Sport Package trim and standard safety features including front, side, curtain, and knee airbags, seat-belt pretensioners, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assistance, forward-collision warning, and rear cross-traffic alert. A comprehensive physical and mechanical inspection is recommended, with particular attention to the rear structure and the SRS warning before purchase.
