2025 MAZDA CX-5 Preferred

The auction record identifies this 2025 Mazda CX-5 as having a salvage title and lists the primary damage as rear end. Stage 1’s photo review found that the visible extensive rear damage supports the stated rear-end classification. Stage 1 also noted that the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The rear of the vehicle has severe damage. The liftgate and rear hatch glass are missing, leaving the cargo opening exposed. The surrounding rear body metal, hatch opening, roof edge, and upper hatch frame are crushed, bent, torn, and irregular, with internal components visible. The rear bumper cover is missing across much of the rear end, and the rear inner body panel behind it is visibly buckled and crushed across the width of the opening. The left rear quarter panel and adjacent rear corner show extensive deformation and torn metal. Exterior trim and lamp-area components are missing, with mounting points and internal parts exposed. At least one outer rear lamp assembly is absent, and the remaining rear lamp area is damaged. Repairs will likely require extensive body, structural-area, glass, liftgate, bumper, lighting, trim, and alignment work, with further inspection needed to determine the condition of concealed components and systems. Additional front-end damage is visible: the front grille has broken and irregular sections around the center and lower areas, while the front bumper cover has minor surface scuffing and abrasion. According to the VIN decode, this is a Japan-built 2025 Mazda CX-5 Preferred SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.5-liter gasoline four-cylinder engine rated at 187 horsepower, and a six-speed automatic transmission. Factory-listed safety equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rear visibility system. The condition and operation of these systems should be verified after repairs.
