2021 MAZDA CX-5 Touring

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title and identifies the primary damage as “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the SIDE classification, with substantial deformation on the left rear door, quarter panel, wheel-arch area, and rocker panel. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The left rear door has large, deep creases and severe deformation across its middle and lower sections. The lower door edge and adjacent seam are distorted. The left rear quarter panel is also severely creased around the wheel arch and forward quarter-panel edge. The outer wheel-arch molding is missing, with mounting points and fasteners exposed. The rocker panel below the rear door shows crushing and deformation, and its outer lower trim is missing or displaced. Additional deformation is visible on the left rear body area near the tail lamp and rear bumper corner, where the panel surfaces appear creased and irregular. The driver airbag is deployed from the steering wheel, and the curtain airbags are deployed along the side roof areas beside the front seating positions. The center dashboard display shows a “Vehicle Malfunction” message indicating a critical vehicle malfunction and instructing the driver to park safely. The extent of any related restraint-system, electrical, structural, or mechanical damage requires physical inspection and diagnostic testing. The VIN decodes as a 2021 Mazda CX-5 Touring SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.5-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. Factory-listed equipment includes front and curtain airbags, with curtain airbags covering the first and second rows, as well as multiple driver-assistance and safety systems. These specifications do not confirm the current condition or operability of the vehicle.
