2023 MAZDA CX-5 Select Package

The auction record lists the vehicle as **CERT OF TITLE—SALVAGE**, with **FRONT END** recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated front-end damage code, while noting that the salvage-title status cannot be verified from photos. The 2023 Mazda CX-5 has severe damage concentrated at the front. The hood is extensively crushed and sharply deformed across the front edge and both corners. The front bumper assembly is missing or detached, with broken components and a large detached white bumper-cover section resting beside the vehicle’s left front wheel. The front grille and surrounding fascia are absent, exposing the radiator and other internal front-end components. Both front headlamp areas contain broken or missing parts, exposed wiring, and displaced mounting structures. The front fenders, wheel-arch trim, radiator support area, and lower front fascia also show severe breakage, deformation, and displacement. Several lower components are hanging below the front end. The extent of the visible damage means that the condition of components behind the damaged areas, including the cooling system, structural attachment points, wiring, sensors, and suspension, requires physical inspection. The driver steering-wheel airbag is deployed. The instrument cluster displays **“Smart Brake System Malfunction.”** This warning is a significant concern, particularly because the front sensor and fascia areas are heavily damaged; however, the underlying fault cannot be diagnosed from the available images alone. Airbag-system components and related safety systems will require inspection and likely repair or replacement. Minor cosmetic damage is also visible in the form of dark scuffs and paint marks on the rear quarter panel near the wheel arch. According to the VIN decode, this is a Japan-built 2023 Mazda CX-5 SUV with 4WD, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. The decoded trim is listed as Select Package. The vehicle is not suitable for normal road use without comprehensive structural, mechanical, electrical, restraint-system, and safety-system assessment and repair.
