2018 MAZDA CX-5 Grand Touring

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a Certificate of Title, with front-end damage identified as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification: the front bumper and grille area are visibly incomplete, with exposed and detached components. The 2018 Mazda CX-5 has significant damage to the front fascia. The center and left portion of the front bumper cover is missing, exposing internal front-end components. The front grille and lower front trim are also absent, leaving open gaps. Remaining fascia material at the left front corner is detached and hanging below the headlamp area. The front portion of the left wheel-arch molding is missing, with mounting holes and exposed edges visible. The front-left edge of the hood is uneven and raised relative to adjacent body panels. A loose cable or wiring lead is hanging below the exposed left front bumper area. The full extent of the damage cannot be determined from these findings alone. The exposed front-end area should be physically inspected for damage to structural components, cooling and lighting systems, wiring, sensors, and mounting points before repair or purchase decisions are made. According to the VIN decode, this is a Grand Touring trim Sport Utility Vehicle with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, six-speed automatic transmission, and 4x2 drivetrain. It was manufactured by Mazda Motor Corporation in Japan. The listed factory equipment includes curtain, front, and side airbags, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rear visibility system. Three NHTSA recalls are listed for this model year: campaign 18V426000 concerns side-curtain airbag deployment in a side impact or rollover; campaign 19V497000 concerns a powertrain-control-module software error that may cause an engine stall; and campaign 21V875000 concerns a low-pressure fuel-pump impeller that may deform and cause pump failure or an engine stall. The listed remedies are replacement of the curtain airbags, PCM software reprogramming, and fuel-pump replacement, respectively. Recall completion for this individual vehicle should be verified by VIN with Mazda or an authorized dealer.
