2024 MAZDA CX-30 Preferred Package

The auction record identifies this 2024 Mazda CX-30 as having a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE, with SIDE listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible damage is concentrated on the left rear side and rear body, supporting the SIDE designation; however, the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from photos alone. The most substantial visible damage is at the left rear. The liftgate outer panel is severely crushed and buckled around the license-plate recess and lower center section, with an irregular lower gap. The left rear quarter panel is also severely crushed and sharply deformed around the rear lamp area and wheel opening. Inner body surfaces and mounting points are exposed in this area. The rear bumper cover is separated from the body at the left corner, with an uneven gap and displaced lower edge. The plastic wheel-arch trim is missing from the left rear wheel opening, leaving fasteners and mounting clips exposed. A long section of the lower left rocker molding is also missing, exposing mounting points and lower body edges. On the left side, the exterior door mirror assembly is absent, with only a dark mounting component remaining. The left front door has a broad dent and crease across its middle and lower sections. Inside, the outer lower bolster of the front left seat shows minor scuffing and surface abrasion. The VIN decode identifies the vehicle as a 2024 Mazda CX-30 SUV/MPV with 4WD, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. It is listed with the Preferred Package trim and was manufactured by Mazda Motor Manufacturing de Mexico in Salamanca, Mexico. The supplied recall data lists two campaigns for this model year: recall 24V649000, concerning a possible forward sensing camera malfunction that may affect automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, and automatic high-beam control; and recall 25V357000, concerning air-bag sensor software that may deactivate the airbags under certain low-battery conditions. The stated remedies are inspection and replacement of the forward sensing camera as necessary for the first recall, and software reprogramming or replacement of the sensor unit for the second. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Mazda or an authorized dealer. The findings document significant visible collision damage, particularly to the left rear quarter, liftgate, and associated exterior components. Hidden structural, mechanical, electrical, restraint-system, alignment, and water-related conditions cannot be determined from these findings and require a thorough physical inspection before purchase.
