2019 MAZDA CX-5 Touring

The vehicle is a 2019 Mazda CX-5, identified by VIN JM3KFBCM8K0538960. NHTSA decoding identifies it as a left-hand-drive SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and Touring trim. It was manufactured by Mazda Motor Corporation in Hiroshima, Japan. The auction record lists the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE COLLISION” and identifies the primary damage as “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the SIDE designation, with substantial scraping and denting on the left-side doors and rocker area. The photos are also described as consistent with visible collision damage; however, title status cannot be confirmed from photos. The main damage is concentrated on the left side. Both the front and rear doors have multiple moderate dents, broad horizontal and diagonal creases, deep scratches, extensive abrasion, paint loss, and light-colored paint transfer. Damage extends across the lower and middle portions of the door skins and the adjacent side panel. The left-side rocker-panel trim below the doors is heavily scraped, with exposed lighter-colored material and irregular sections along its length. A section of the black plastic molding ahead of and above the left rear wheel is missing, leaving mounting points and exposed body-edge areas visible. The left front bumper corner also has localized black abrasion and paint loss, classified as minor damage. The decoded vehicle is equipped with standard safety features including ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, curtain and front side airbags, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, rear visibility equipment, and pedestrian automatic emergency braking. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model and year. Recall 19V497000 concerns a powertrain-control-module software error that may cause the engine to stall; the stated remedy is free PCM reprogramming. Recall 21V875000 concerns possible cracking and deformation of the low-pressure fuel-pump impeller, which may cause fuel-pump failure and engine stalling; the stated remedy is free fuel-pump replacement. Recall completion should be verified with Mazda or through the vehicle’s service records before purchase.
