2020 MAZDA CX-9 Grand Touring

The auction record identifies this 2020 Mazda CX-9 as having a salvage certificate of title, with “REAR END” listed as the primary damage. The visible extensive rear-end damage supports the auction primary-damage code of REAR END; however, the salvage-certificate title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The rear of the vehicle has severe collision damage. Both outer rear quarter panels are missing, exposing inner body areas around the rear wheel openings and fuel-filler region. The wheel-arch moldings and surrounding trim are also absent on both sides. The left and right rear corners have exposed inner panels, wiring, mounting brackets, and exhaust components. The rear bumper cover and both outer rear lamp assemblies are missing, leaving the bumper reinforcement, wiring, and mounting areas exposed. The rear liftgate glass is absent, and the liftgate itself is severely creased and deformed across the lower and side sections. Additional hatch trim and lamp-surround components are broken or missing, with open mounting points and unfinished exposed edges. Several minor scratches and scuff marks are present on the left rear door and adjacent side panel. The extent of the missing and exposed rear body components indicates that a comprehensive collision repair is required. The condition of the underlying body structure, exhaust system, wiring, lighting system, liftgate mechanisms, and any related safety systems should be physically inspected before purchase. The provided findings do not establish whether the vehicle is safe to drive or whether all mechanical and electrical systems remain functional. According to the VIN decoding, this is a Japan-built 2020 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring SUV with front-wheel drive/4x2, a 2.5-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this vehicle’s model and year: campaign 21V750000, concerning certain 60/40 split second-row seats that may slide forward during a crash. Mazda’s remedy was replacement of internal seat parts at no charge. Recall completion should be verified with Mazda or an authorized dealer using the vehicle identification number.
