2021 MAZDA CX-9 Grand Touring

The vehicle is a 2021 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring with a salvage title designation and an auction-listed primary damage classification of FRONT END. The visible front-end damage supports the auction’s unverified FRONT END claim; however, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The most significant damage is concentrated at the left front corner. The hood is severely creased and deformed at the left front corner and front edge, leaving an uneven raised gap above the grille. The left front fender is crushed and sharply creased around the headlamp and wheel-opening area. The left headlamp assembly is missing, exposing the surrounding cavity and components. The left side of the front bumper cover is cracked, torn, and deformed, with an open lower corner and exposed inner parts. The left edge of the grille and adjacent trim are broken and displaced. Additional missing or damaged trim is visible around the wheel arch and lamp opening. The hood is also visibly lifted and uneven across the front. The VIN decodes the vehicle as a gasoline-powered SUV/MPV with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine, six-speed automatic transmission, and 4x2 drivetrain. It is equipped with three seat rows and seating for seven. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this vehicle: recall 21V750000 concerns certain 2020–2021 CX-9 models with 60/40 split second-row seats. The left-side second-row seat may slide forward unexpectedly during a crash, increasing injury risk. Mazda’s stated remedy is replacement of internal second-row seat parts by an authorized dealer at no charge. Recall completion should be verified by VIN before purchase. The visible damage indicates that substantial front-end repair and replacement work will be required. A physical inspection should confirm the condition of the underlying structure, cooling and lighting systems, suspension, safety systems, and any components behind the damaged panels.
