2015 AUDI A5 2.0T PREMIUM

The 2015 Audi A5 is listed by the auction with a “Clear” condition designation and “Left Side” as the primary damage. However, Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence contradicts the “Clear” condition claim because substantial collision damage is present on the left side; the “Left Side” damage classification is supported by the photographs. The left front door and adjacent lower rocker area have extensive dark abrasion marks and transferred material, with surface scuffing across the lower and rear portions of the door. Additional minor scuffing is visible on the left front fender near the wheel arch and on the lower front door. The most significant damage is at the left rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area. The panel is visibly deformed over a large section extending from the door seam across the wheel arch toward the rear, with extensive scraping and transferred material. The left rear bumper corner also has broad abrasion marks, transferred material, and deformation near the quarter-panel junction. The condition of the underlying structure, suspension, wheel, alignment, and mechanical components cannot be determined from these findings and should be inspected before purchase. Factory decoding identifies this vehicle as a Germany-built Audi A5 Cabriolet with S line quattro Plus trim, all-wheel drive, a 1.984-litre four-cylinder gasoline/E85-capable engine, and an automatic transmission. NHTSA records list three recalls applicable to this model and year range. Two concern the electric coolant pump on vehicles with the 2.0-litre Turbo FSI engine, which may overheat or short-circuit and increase fire risk; the listed remedies involve software updates and/or coolant-pump replacement. A separate recall concerns auxiliary-heater wiring corrosion that may cause wires to overheat or melt. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Audi or an authorised dealer before purchase.
