2024 MAZDA CX-30

The auction record lists the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” with “REAR END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the rear-end damage classification, with substantial damage concentrated around the left rear quarter panel, rear door, wheel-arch molding, and rear bumper corner. Stage 1 also notes that salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The left rear quarter panel has severe creasing and deformation extending from the rear door edge to the wheel opening and rear lamp area. The left rear door is moderately creased and distorted along its rear edge and lower section, with irregular panel contours and damaged paint. A section of the black plastic molding around the left rear wheel opening is missing, exposing mounting holes and components. The left corner of the rear bumper cover is separated from the adjacent body panel, with an open gap and scuffing. White side-curtain airbag fabric is visibly hanging along the side-window openings inside the passenger compartment, indicating deployment of the side-curtain airbags. The restraint system and related crash sensors should be professionally inspected and restored before the vehicle is operated. According to the NHTSA VIN decode, this is a 2024 Mazda CX-30 SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Mazda Motor Manufacturing de Mexico in Salamanca, Mexico. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this model year: one involving a possible forward-sensing-camera malfunction that can affect automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, and automatic headlight adjustment; and another involving airbag-control-module software that may deactivate the airbags under a low-battery condition. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with an authorized Mazda dealer, particularly given the visible airbag deployment.
