2022 MAZDA CX-9 Touring

The 2022 Mazda CX-9 is listed with an unverified auction condition of “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” and an unverified primary-damage classification of “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the rear-end damage claim because substantial damage and missing components are visible at the right rear corner. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The right rear quarter panel has extensive crushing and deformation around the wheel arch and rear corner, with inner components and mounting points exposed. The right rear door has a large irregular depression and multiple sharply deformed areas extending into the lower door and adjacent wheel-arch area. The rear bumper cover is missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement, mounting hardware, exhaust outlets, and internal components. The right outer rear lamp assembly is also missing, leaving its cavity and associated mounting and wiring components exposed. The right rear wheel-arch trim and the lower side-sill/rocker trim behind the rear door are absent, with fastener holes, mounting points, and unfinished body edges visible. According to the NHTSA VIN decode, this is a Japan-built 2022 Mazda CX-9 Touring SUV with four-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle is configured with three seating rows and seven seats. Physical inspection and a complete repair assessment would be required to determine the condition of concealed structural, mechanical, electrical, and safety-system components.
