2025 MAZDA CX-50 Preferred

The vehicle is a 2025 Mazda CX-50 with a salvage collision title and an auction-listed primary damage designation of “FRONT END.” This auction classification is an unverified claim. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end damage designation: the hood and bumper area show substantial damage, including broken or missing bumper sections and exposed components. The deployed airbags also support a collision-related loss, although structural damage is not directly confirmed by the available photos. The front bumper and lower front fascia are severely damaged. The bumper cover has multiple cracks, torn and missing sections, displaced lower trim, large open areas, and exposed internal components. Scraping and linear scuff marks are also visible across the lower painted bumper surface. The hood is visibly raised and displaced, with uneven gaps along the leading edge and at both front corners rather than sitting flush with the fenders. Deployed airbag fabric is visible from the driver steering wheel, below the steering column, and along the driver-side lower dashboard area. The vehicle should not be considered roadworthy until the complete restraint system, collision sensors, front-end components, cooling and support structures, steering and suspension systems, and possible structural alignment have been professionally inspected and repaired. The photos do not directly confirm structural damage or the condition of concealed mechanical and electrical components. According to the VIN decode, this is a U.S.-built CX-50 SUV with 4WD, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and the Preferred trim designation. The VIN is 7MMVABBM5SN303084. NHTSA records list four recalls for applicable 2025 CX-50 vehicles: a forward-sensing camera malfunction that may affect automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, and automatic headlight adjustment; a trailer-hitch fastener issue on vehicles equipped with a Mazda Genuine Accessory trailer hitch; airbag/restraint-control-module software that may cause improper airbag deployment; and front suspension fasteners that may be insufficiently tightened, potentially allowing suspension or wheel detachment. Recall completion and applicability should be verified directly by VIN with Mazda or NHTSA before purchase, particularly because the vehicle has visible airbag deployment and front-end damage.
