2021 MAZDA CX-5 Grand Touring

The 2021 Mazda CX-5 is listed by the auction with a “PERMIT SALVAGE” condition and “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. The photo-based review supports the front-end damage claim through extensive deformation, missing components, and deployed front airbags. The permit-salvage title status cannot be confirmed or contradicted from exterior photographs alone. The front end has sustained severe collision damage. The hood is heavily creased, folded, and raised above the normal body line, with deformation extending across the front edge and both front corners. The front bumper cover, grille, and multiple fascia components are missing or broken, exposing the radiator area, wiring, brackets, and other inner front components. The left headlamp assembly is absent, and the front-left fender, wheel-arch area, and lamp corner are crushed and folded. Additional detached bumper sections are resting below the left front corner. The upper front panel and surrounding structure show irregular folded edges and open sections. The underbody splash shield and a long section of wheel-arch trim are detached and lying on the ground. The visible damage indicates that inspection of the front structure, cooling system, wiring, lighting systems, suspension, steering, and alignment will be necessary before repair assessment is complete. Both the driver and front passenger airbags are visibly deployed. Replacement of the airbags and associated restraint-system components, followed by proper diagnostic and safety-system testing, will be required. The rear bumper and lower liftgate have light surface scratches, with additional scuffing on the left rear bumper corner and adjacent lower trim. According to the VIN decode, this is a Japan-built 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 decoded 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, lane-keep assistance, rear cross-traffic alert, and LED low-beam headlamps. These systems and their related sensors and wiring should be checked carefully because of the severity and location of the front-end impact.
