2021 AUDI A5 quattro Premium Plus

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a “SALVAGE CERTIFICATE” and lists the primary damage as “REAR END.” These are unverified auction designations. Stage 1 reports that visible evidence supports the REAR END claim because the left rear tail lamp is missing and the left rear quarter panel, rear door, and bumper are damaged. Stage 1 also reports that the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The 2021 Audi A5 is decoded as a Sportback quattro Premium Plus with all-wheel drive, a gasoline 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. Visible damage is concentrated at the left rear. The left rear outer tail-lamp assembly is missing, leaving an exposed opening with internal lamp-area components visible. The left rear bumper corner has broad scuffing and localized deformation adjacent to the missing lamp. The left rear quarter panel has multiple pronounced dents, creases, and surface scuffing, including the area above and ahead of the rear wheel. The left rear door has a large horizontal dent with several creases and paint scuffing across its lower and middle sections. The instrument cluster displays the warning: “Left brake light/turn signal faulty. See owner's manual.” The lighting fault should be diagnosed after the lamp assembly and any related wiring or mounting components are inspected and repaired. The supplied NHTSA recall records list several campaigns applicable to 2021 Audi A5 variants. These include recall 21V606000 for the rear middle-seat belt automatic-locking retractor, recall 22V034000 concerning rear axle alignment after an earlier repair, recall 20V737000 concerning anti-abrasion protection for the rear-light wiring harness on applicable A5 Sportback models, recall 21V295000 concerning rear-axle trailing-arm lock nuts, and recall 22V742000 concerning possible loss of the rearview-camera display. Recall completion for this vehicle should be verified with Audi using the VIN, and any outstanding repairs should be completed before purchase or road use.
