2015 AUDI A5 2.0T PREMIUM

The auction record lists the vehicle’s condition as “Clear” and identifies “Left Side” as the primary damage. Stage 1’s assessment states that the visible evidence contradicts the “Clear” condition designation: severe collision damage, deformed body panels, separated bumper sections, and deployed airbags are visible. The damage is concentrated on the left side and is consistent with the auction’s “Left Side” classification. The front bumper cover has extensive scuffing, exposed gray material, cracking, broken sections, and separation across the lower-left and lower-center areas. Some lower grille and opening trim is missing or damaged. At the rear, the left quarter panel is severely crushed and sharply deformed from the rear door area through the wheel arch toward the tail lamp, with multiple areas of paint loss. The left rear door has large dents and creases, extensive scratches, paint loss, and distortion around the rear edge and panel gap. The left rocker panel and side skirt near the rear wheel show crushing, scraping, paint loss, and a separated section. The left rear bumper corner is separated from the body, leaving an open gap and exposed material behind it. The lower-left rear bumper also has broad white transfer marks and horizontal abrasions. Multiple airbags are visibly deployed, including airbags along the roof-side curtain area, in front of the passenger compartment, and a rear curtain airbag hanging from the right-side rear roof and window area. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2015 Audi A5 coupe with the S line quattro Plus trim, all-wheel drive, a 1.984-liter four-cylinder flex-fuel-capable gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. NHTSA records list three safety recalls applicable to this model and year: two involving the electric coolant pump on 2.0-liter Turbo FSI engines, which may increase fire risk if the pump becomes blocked or short-circuits, and one involving auxiliary-heater wiring that may overheat or melt due to connector corrosion. Recall completion should be verified with Audi before purchase.
