2019 MAZDA CX-5 Touring

The auction record identifies this 2019 Mazda CX-5 as having a salvage title and lists the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end damage supports the FRONT END classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood is heavily creased and deformed across its front section, with a folded front edge and an uneven, raised position above the grille and headlamps. The front bumper cover is severely cracked, broken, and displaced at the visible front corners, with torn plastic, missing sections, and exposed areas behind the bumper. The center grille and surrounding trim are broken or absent, and the center emblem is not present. The headlamp area at the damaged corner contains broken surrounding components and exposed internal parts; the lamp assembly is not visibly intact. The adjacent front fender has moderate creasing and deformation around the headlamp and wheel arch. The front section of the black wheel-arch molding is also broken or missing, with fastener and mounting areas exposed. The available findings do not establish the condition of the engine, cooling system, suspension, steering, airbags, or other components behind the damaged exterior. A thorough physical inspection and repair assessment are recommended before purchase. According to the VIN decode, this is a Japan-built 2019 Mazda CX-5 Touring SUV with front-wheel drive (4x2), a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a five-seat, four-door configuration.
