2023 MAZDA CX-5 Premium Package

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” condition and identifies “SIDE” as the primary damage code. The provided photo assessment, however, found damage concentrated at the front, with additional damage at the right rear bumper. It states that the photos do not support the “SIDE” damage classification and that salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The front end has substantial collision damage. The hood is creased along its leading edge, with an uneven raised gap. The front bumper cover and grille area have torn and missing sections, open gaps, and displaced or broken grille-side trim. The bumper cover is absent or detached at the front left corner, exposing underlying components and leaving torn edges near the headlamp and wheel-arch area. The front right fender is severely deformed around the wheel opening, with torn edges and exposed inner areas. The bumper cover is detached at this corner, with cracked, torn, and missing material. The front right wheel and tire are missing, leaving the brake rotor and caliper exposed. The condition of other components behind the damaged exterior, including steering, suspension, braking, lighting, cooling, and safety systems, is not established by these findings and requires physical inspection. Additional damage is present at the right rear. A large jagged section of the rear bumper cover has peeled or torn away, and the adjoining black wheel-arch trim has scraped and missing sections. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2023 Mazda CX-5 Sport Utility Vehicle equipped with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, a six-speed automatic transmission, and four-wheel drive. The vehicle was manufactured by Mazda in Japan and is identified with the Premium Package trim. Standard decoded equipment includes curtain, front, and side airbags; anti-lock brakes; electronic stability and traction control; adaptive cruise control; blind-spot monitoring; lane-departure warning and lane-keep assistance; forward-collision warning; pedestrian automatic emergency braking; rear cross-traffic alert; and a rear visibility system. The presence and operating condition of these systems after the collision have not been verified.
