2024 MAZDA CX-5 Preferred Package

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a “SALVAGE TITLE CERTIFICATE” condition and identifies the primary damage as “SIDE.” The visible severe damage to the left-side doors, front fender, and rocker area supports the auction’s SIDE damage classification. However, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the available photographs. The 2024 Mazda CX-5 has extensive collision damage along the left side. The left front door outer panel shows sharp creasing, deep dents, scraped paint, and substantial deformation. The left front fender is crushed and folded above and behind the wheel opening, with multiple deep creases and paint damage. The lower front portion of the left rear door also has denting, creasing, and scraped paint. The left rocker panel and lower side sill have scraping, exposed fastener areas, and irregular deformation. These areas should be carefully inspected for damage to the underlying structure, door and hinge mounting points, rocker reinforcement, floor area, suspension components, wiring, and alignment. A curtain airbag is visibly deployed and hanging from the left roofline beside the front and rear seating areas. The outer shoulder of the left front seatback has torn upholstery with white material protruding. The restraint system, including the curtain airbag, side-impact components, seat-belt pretensioners, sensors, wiring, and related control modules, will require professional inspection and likely replacement or repair. The vehicle is factory-equipped with curtain airbags for the first and second rows, as well as front and first-row side airbags. According to the VIN decode, this is a Japan-built 2024 Mazda CX-5 SUV with 4WD, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. The decoded equipment includes standard adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, rear cross-traffic alert, and pedestrian automatic emergency braking. These safety and driver-assistance systems may require diagnostic testing, calibration, or repair following the collision. A complete physical inspection is recommended before purchase, including structural measurement, underbody and suspension inspection, airbag-system diagnostics, electronic-system scanning, and verification of the vehicle’s title and repair history.
