2025 MAZDA CX-50 Preferred

The auction record identifies this vehicle 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 auction’s FRONT END damage code; however, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior and interior photographs alone. The vehicle has severe front-end collision damage. The hood is heavily crushed and folded across the front, with the leading edge raised and distorted above the grille and headlamp areas. The front bumper cover is torn, partially separated, and missing sections, exposing internal components and the lower bumper reinforcement. The reinforcement itself is detached and hanging below the front fascia. The grille is displaced, and the front support panel behind the bumper has distorted edges and damaged mounting openings. Material is missing from the front fender and wheel-arch area, exposing inner components and open mounting holes. The nearby front corner structure has torn body panels, exposed internal components, and separated lower trim. Both headlamp areas are obstructed by the deformed hood and surrounding panels, with visible gaps and displaced fascia around the lamp assemblies. The extent of the visible damage means that the condition of components behind the damaged areas, including structural, cooling, lighting, electrical, and driver-assistance systems, requires physical inspection and testing. The driver airbag, front passenger airbag, and side and curtain airbags are visibly deployed. The restraint-control system, airbags, seat-belt pretensioners, related wiring, sensors, and interior trim will require inspection and likely repair or replacement before the vehicle can be considered safe for road use. The vehicle should not be driven until the front-end and restraint-system damage has been professionally assessed. The VIN decodes as a 2025 Mazda CX-50 SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and Mazda’s PY Cylinder Deactivation engine configuration. It was manufactured in the United States by Mazda Toyota Manufacturing in Huntsville, Alabama. The decoded trim is Preferred. NHTSA records list several recalls applicable to this model year. Recall 24V649000 concerns the forward sensing camera, which may affect automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, and automatic high-beam control. Recall 25V413000 concerns airbag-control-module software that may cause an airbag to deploy improperly. Recall 25V737000 concerns potentially loose front suspension fastener bolts that could result in suspension or wheel detachment.
