2021 MAZDA CX-5 Grand Touring

This 2021 Mazda CX-5 is listed with a salvage certificate of title. The auction’s primary-damage designation is “FRONT END.” However, Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence does not clearly support a front-end primary-damage claim. In the reviewed photos, the major visible damage is concentrated on the windshield and interior: the front bumper, grille, headlights, and hood do not show clear major collision damage. The front windshield is extensively shattered across nearly the entire glass area, with large fractured and open sections. Glass fragments are scattered throughout the front cabin—including the dashboard, center console, front seat area, and floor—as well as across the rear seat and surrounding passenger-compartment surfaces. An interior component with attached wiring is hanging from the upper center windshield area. The front driver’s seat cushion also has multiple tears or openings, exposing lighter-colored underlying material. The vehicle identification data identifies this vehicle as a 2021 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mazda in Japan. Factory-listed equipment includes front and side airbags, curtain airbags for the first and second rows, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rear visibility system. The windshield, interior trim or component, attached wiring, seat upholstery, and all areas containing glass debris will require repair or replacement. The vehicle should also undergo a thorough inspection for concealed damage and verification of the safety and driver-assistance systems before being considered roadworthy.
