2021 MAZDA CX-9 Signature

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title and identifies the primary damage as “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible left-front collision damage supports the stated front-end damage claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The 2021 Mazda CX-9 has severe damage concentrated at the left front. The left front fender is sharply crushed around the wheel opening, with folded outer metal and exposed mounting areas. The left front bumper cover is cracked, torn, and partially detached, with the bumper edge and lower trim displaced from the adjacent body panels. Wheel-arch trim is missing, and the hood-to-fender gap is uneven at the damaged corner. Several airbags are visibly deployed. These include the side airbag from the outer side of the front passenger seat, a curtain airbag hanging from the left roof and upper door area, and another deployed curtain airbag along the rear side-roof area behind the second-row seating. The visible damage therefore includes both substantial exterior collision damage and deployed restraint-system components. According to the VIN decode, this is a Japan-built 2021 Mazda CX-9 Signature SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle is equipped with three seating rows and curtain airbags covering the first, second, and third rows. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this vehicle model and year: campaign 21V750000 concerns certain 2020–2021 CX-9 vehicles with 60/40 split second-row seats. The left-side second-row seat may slide forward during a crash, potentially increasing occupant injury risk. The listed remedy is replacement of internal second-row seat components by Mazda at no charge. Recall completion for this specific vehicle should be verified with Mazda or an authorized dealer using the VIN. A full structural, mechanical, wheel-and-suspension, airbag, seat-belt, and electronic-systems inspection is recommended before purchase, along with confirmation of the salvage-title documentation and completion of any required repairs.
