2021 MAZDA CX-5 Grand Touring

The vehicle is 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 VIN decode identifies Japan as the manufacturing country. The auction record lists the vehicle condition as “SALVAGE CERTIFICATE” and the primary damage as “SIDE.” According to the Stage 1 assessment, the extensive visible deformation of the left-side doors and rocker area supports the unverified SIDE damage code. The SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed or contradicted from vehicle photos alone. The observed damage is severe and concentrated along the left side. The left front door has extensive deep crushing, sharp creases, scraped paint, and visible dark inner or adjacent components along the lower edge. The left rear door has a large, deep deformation with multiple horizontal and diagonal creases, particularly across the lower section. The left rocker panel beneath the doors is visibly crushed and irregular, with scraped paint and torn or open sections exposing darker underlying material. Because the damage involves both doors and the rocker area, the vehicle requires a thorough physical inspection before purchase. This should include checking the underlying body structure, door operation and alignment, the rocker and floor area, wiring, restraint and safety systems, and wheel alignment or other components that may have been affected. The visible findings do not establish the condition or operability of any concealed mechanical, electrical, or safety-related components.
