2023 MAZDA CX-5

The vehicle is a 2023 Mazda CX-5 with a salvage title designation. The auction lists the primary damage as “TOP/ROOF.” Stage 1 reports that the visible roof deformation and extensive damage around the roof and windshield support this stated damage code; however, the salvage-title status itself cannot be verified from photographs. The most significant damage is concentrated at the front roof edge, roof panel, and windshield header. These areas are severely crushed, buckled, folded, and irregular, with torn or displaced material around the upper windshield opening. The windshield is extensively shattered, with dense cracking and large sections of missing or fragmented glass. Considerable broken safety glass is also present throughout the front cabin, including on the seats, center console area, and floor. Multiple airbags have deployed. Visible deployment includes the driver and passenger front airbags, side-curtain airbags, and additional airbag fabric along the sides and roof of the cabin. The restraint system and related components will require full diagnostic testing and replacement as necessary. The left side has extensive severe collision damage. The left front fender and both left-side doors show deep dents, sharp creases, scraped paint, and irregular panel surfaces. Deformation extends longitudinally into the lower side section, with the left rocker panel visibly crushed and the side skirt or lower trim displaced. Exposed fasteners are visible in the lower rocker area. The left rear quarter panel is also deeply dented and creased around the wheel arch and fuel-door area. The left exterior mirror housing is damaged, with broken or missing outer components and exposed internal parts. The hood has moderate deformation, including visible creasing, bent edges, and uneven alignment near the windshield and surrounding body panels. According to the VIN decode, this is a Japan-built 2023 Mazda CX-5 SUV with 4WD, a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. The decoded vehicle is equipped with front, side, and first- and second-row curtain airbags, as well as various driver-assistance and safety systems. Given the severe roof and windshield-header deformation, extensive left-side impact damage, deployed airbags, and widespread broken glass, the vehicle requires a comprehensive structural, restraint-system, electrical, glass, body, and mechanical inspection before repair or purchase. No assessment of hidden damage, drivability, or repairability can be made from the listed findings alone.
