2021 MAZDA CX-30 Preferred Package

The vehicle is a 2021 Mazda CX-30 listed with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and FRONT END as the auction’s primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end collision damage supports the FRONT END classification; however, the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The front end has moderate to severe collision damage. The hood is raised and uneven along its front edge, with an irregular gap above the grille and headlamp areas. The near-side front corner is creased and deformed. The near-side front bumper cover is severely damaged, with cracks, torn sections, displaced edges, and an opening at the corner. It is separated from adjacent components in several areas. The near-side headlamp area has displaced and broken surrounding trim, exposed internal components, and an irregular opening around the lamp assembly. The near-side grille edge and adjacent chrome-colored trim are cracked, bent, and separated from the surrounding fascia. The near-side front fender is dented and creased around the upper wheel arch and rear edge, with an irregular panel gap beside the front door. Light scuffing and abrasion are also visible on the black bumper surfaces near the damaged corner. The VIN decoder identifies the vehicle as a left-hand-drive Mazda CX-30 SUV with 4WD, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in Salamanca, Mexico, and is listed with the Preferred Package trim. Two NHTSA recalls are recorded for this model and year. Recall 21V086000 concerns a power liftgate that may partially lower unexpectedly when the vehicle is parked facing uphill; the remedy involves a software update and inspection or replacement of the liftgate drive unit as necessary. Recall 21V101000 concerns tire air valves that may suddenly leak, with replacement of all four valves specified as the remedy. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Mazda or an authorized dealer. The documented damage is concentrated at the front end. A complete physical inspection is recommended to assess the headlamp, grille, bumper supports, hood and fender mounting points, cooling and electrical components, structural areas, safety systems, wheel alignment, and any damage not visible in the provided findings.
