2018 MAZDA CX-9 Grand Touring

The vehicle is a 2018 Mazda CX-9, listed by the auction with a “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE” condition and “SIDE” as the primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible rear side-door deformation supports the SIDE classification; however, the certificate-of-title condition cannot be confirmed from photographs. The rear side-door outer panel has moderate collision damage. It shows a localized inward dent with visible creasing between the door handle and rear wheel arch, together with a larger inward deformation extending from the middle of the door toward the lower door and wheel-arch area. Multiple sharp creases are present, while the exterior paint appears largely intact over the damaged section. The supplied findings do not establish the condition of the door structure, hinges, latch, window mechanism, adjacent panels, wheel-arch area, or any internal components. A physical inspection is recommended before purchase and repair planning. According to the VIN decode, this is a left-hand-drive, seven-seat SUV manufactured by Mazda Motor Corporation in Hiroshima, Japan. It is equipped with a 2.5-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder engine, 4WD, and a Grand Touring trim designation. The decode also lists standard features including front and rear parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, forward-collision warning, and curtain airbags for all three rows. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this 2018 CX-9. Recall 21V875000 concerns possible cracking and deformation of the low-pressure fuel-pump impeller, which may cause fuel-pump failure and engine stalling; the remedy is fuel-pump replacement. Recall 19V403000 concerns wiring-harness faults that may disable the passenger frontal airbag, turn signals, and/or engine starting system; the remedy is wiring-harness repair. Recall completion for this vehicle should be verified with Mazda or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
