2020 MAZDA CX-3 Sport

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a **CERT OF SALVAGE < 75% DAMAGE** designation with **FRONT END** as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end primary-damage description: the photos show localized damage concentrated at the front-left exterior. However, the photos cannot confirm the stated “less than 75% damage” threshold. The visible damage includes a moderately deformed left front fender above and behind the wheel opening, along with detached black wheel-arch trim hanging beside the front wheel. The left front bumper cover is separated at the corner, leaving exposed mounting areas and a gap beside the headlight and wheel arch. The left exterior mirror is broken away from its normal mounting position and hangs alongside the front door. The left front corner of the hood is also irregular, with an uneven gap relative to the adjacent fender and headlight. The extent of any underlying structural, suspension, lighting, or mechanical damage is not established by these findings and should be checked during a physical inspection. The VIN decodes as a Japan-built 2020 Mazda CX-3 Sport wagon with four-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter gasoline four-cylinder engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. Factory safety equipment listed includes front, side, and curtain airbags, anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, forward-collision warning, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. An NHTSA recall, campaign 23V487000, applies to certain 2016–2021 Mazda CX-3 vehicles. The rearview camera image may flicker or become distorted, potentially reducing rear visibility. The stated remedy is dealer inspection and replacement of the camera as necessary, together with installation of a wiring-harness fastening seal, at no charge. The recall record provided does not establish whether this vehicle’s repair has been completed.
