2022 MAZDA CX-5 Preferred Package

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a salvage/rebuildable title with “FRONT END” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1’s assessment is that the visible evidence supports this primary-damage classification: the hood, bumper, grille, lighting area, and front-end trim show extensive damage. However, the salvage/rebuildable title status itself cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The front hood has multiple broad creases and raised irregular areas across the front and center sections, and its front edge sits unevenly above the fascia. The front bumper cover is displaced and partially detached, with a large section hanging downward. The central grille and surrounding fascia are missing, exposing the radiator and other internal front-end components. Additional black and painted plastic pieces around the bumper corners and grille are broken, displaced, or missing, with loose fragments and exposed mounting points visible. The front right headlamp area has broken and missing components, including exposed wiring and internal mounting parts. Plastic support and cover components around the upper and lower radiator-cover area have broken edges, open gaps, and displaced sections. The foam-like impact absorber behind the bumper is visibly fractured and separated into uneven sections. The instrument cluster displays the message, “Front Radar Sensor System Malfunction.” This is a specific concern for the front radar and driver-assistance sensor system, particularly because the radar mounting area is within the visibly damaged and partially missing front fascia. Proper inspection, calibration, and testing of the radar and related safety systems will be required after repairs. The findings do not establish the condition of other mechanical, structural, electrical, or restraint-system components. According to the VIN decoding, this is a 2022 Mazda CX-5 Preferred Package SUV with 4WD, a 2.5-liter gasoline four-cylinder engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mazda in Japan.
