2021 MAZDA CX-5 Grand Touring

The vehicle is listed with a salvage vehicle title, and the auction’s primary damage classification is FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification through the extensive missing and damaged front-end components. The salvage-title status itself cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The front end has extensive collision damage. The front bumper cover and grille assembly are missing, and both visible headlamp assemblies are absent, leaving open cavities, exposed wiring, and other front structural and cooling components. The front fascia is largely missing, with exposed brackets and internal components at the front-right corner. Detached red and black bumper and grille sections are shown separately, with separated sections, broken edges, and surface scratches. The left front fender is missing, exposing the wheel-arch liner, mounting areas, and components behind the panel. The left exterior mirror assembly is also absent. The hood has a large depressed and creased area on its front-left portion, including irregular deformation along the front edge. The extent of the visible damage warrants a detailed inspection of the underlying structure, cooling system, wiring, lighting system, restraint systems, and alignment before repair or road use. A visible instrument-cluster message states, “Blind Spot Monitoring Sensor(s) Malfunction.” This indicates a blind-spot monitoring system fault that should be diagnosed and repaired; related driver-assistance systems should also be checked after the collision repair. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2021 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring SUV with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic six-speed transmission, and 4x2 drive configuration. The vehicle was manufactured by Mazda in Japan. Factory-listed safety equipment includes blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, forward collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, adaptive cruise control, and LED low-beam headlamps. These systems may require inspection, calibration, or replacement following the front-end damage.
