2023 MAZDA CX-5 Preferred Package

The auction lists this 2023 Mazda CX-5 as having a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE, with FRONT END recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END claim, citing extensive damage to the front bumper, hood, grille, lamp areas, fender, and exposed components. The SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The vehicle has severe collision damage concentrated at the front, particularly the front-left corner and engine-compartment area. The front-left outer bodywork, fender, bumper, grille, lamp-area components, and surrounding trim are missing, broken, or detached. Inner components, wiring, radiator-area parts, and mounting structures are exposed. The hood is severely buckled and raised, with deformation extending across both front corners. No wheel or tire assembly is visible at the front-left position, leaving suspension and inner wheel-well components exposed. The left front rocker panel and lower door area also show moderate deformation, with detached trim, exposed fasteners, and visible inner body areas. The front-right bumper corner is separated from the body, and portions of the grille and bumper are broken or missing. Both the driver and front passenger airbags are visibly deployed. This indicates that the restraint system will require detailed inspection and likely replacement of affected components. The available findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, suspension, steering, cooling system, electrical system, or vehicle frame; these areas require a physical inspection and appropriate diagnostic testing before purchase. Minor cosmetic abrasion and scuffing are visible on the red leather rear seat lower cushion and front edge. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2023 Mazda CX-5 SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.5-litre four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. The decoded trim is Preferred Package, and the vehicle was manufactured by Mazda in Hiroshima, Japan. Extensive front-end, body, wheel-area, and airbag repairs should be expected, with the full repair scope and roadworthiness remaining unverified from the provided findings.
