2021 MAZDA CX-5 Grand Touring Reserve

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate of title, with “SIDE” identified as the primary damage. The reported visual assessment supports the side-damage classification: the left front and left rear door panels have extensive inward deformation, sharp creasing, paint scuffing, and scraping. The lower left rocker panel and side sill are severely crushed and irregular, with portions of the lower covering missing and underlying material and fastener holes exposed. The salvage-title status itself cannot be confirmed from photos alone. Additional visible damage includes broken or separated black trim around the left side of the front grille and bumper, along with light scuffing on the lower front bumper and rear bumper. The extent of the rocker-panel damage warrants a thorough inspection of the surrounding structure, door operation, wiring, suspension, and alignment before purchase or repair decisions are made. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2021 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring Reserve SUV, manufactured 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 safety equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, electronic stability and traction control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear visibility, and related driver-assistance systems. These features should be checked for damage, warning lights, and proper operation after repairs.
