2020 MAZDA CX-5 Grand Touring Reserve

The auction record lists the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” with a primary damage code of “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive deformation and missing trim on the vehicle’s left side support the auction’s unverified “SIDE” damage classification. However, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photos. The left front door has severe, irregular deformation across the lower and central outer panel, including deep creases, crushed areas, and abraded lighter-colored marks. The left rear door is also severely damaged, with deep dents, sharp creasing, and extensive irregular deformation across the middle and lower sections. Lower side molding is missing from the damaged doors, with exposed fastener locations, and the left rear wheel-arch cladding is absent or incomplete. A large side-curtain airbag is visibly deployed along the upper side of the passenger compartment, extending across the side-window and roof-edge area. The airbag and related restraint-system components will require inspection and repair or replacement as applicable. Factory data identifies this vehicle as a 2020 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring Reserve SUV, built in Japan. It is equipped with a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, six-speed automatic transmission, and four-wheel drive. The decoded equipment includes curtain airbags for the first and second rows, front and first-row side airbags, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, forward-collision warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear visibility equipment.
