2020 MAZDA CX-5 Touring

The auction record identifies this 2020 Mazda CX-5 as having a salvage vehicle title, with “SIDE” listed as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the SIDE classification because extensive collision damage is clearly visible along the left side. The salvage-title status itself cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The left front fender and front door have extensive, severe deformation, including deep creases, crushed areas, and scraped surfaces. Additional damage is visible on the lower portion of the left rear door and along the rocker panel, with torn-looking surfaces and exposed light-colored material. The affected areas should be assessed for possible structural, door, rocker-panel, suspension, and alignment-related damage before purchase. Blue-gray fabric is hanging from the left roof/headliner area above the side seating, identified as exposed curtain-airbag material. The outer seam of the driver’s seat backrest is also open, with pale fabric and internal material exposed, identified as exposed seat-side airbag material. The complete restraint-system condition, including airbags, sensors, seat belts, and related modules, requires professional inspection and repair verification. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a Japan-built 2020 Mazda CX-5 Touring SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. The decoded equipment includes curtain airbags for the first and second rows and front side airbags, which is consistent with the areas where airbag-related material is visibly exposed. Overall, the vehicle presents severe collision damage concentrated on the left side, together with visible airbag-area damage, and should not be considered ready for normal road use without comprehensive inspection and restoration.
