2013 AUDI A5 quattro Premium Plus

The auction record lists the vehicle as a “Junked Vehicle Bill of Sale” with “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end damage classification because of the extensive damage present; however, the junked-vehicle bill-of-sale status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The visible damage is concentrated across the front of the vehicle. The hood is severely crushed, with deep folds and raised sections across the front and center, along with scraped and discolored paint. The front bumper cover is torn and incomplete, with separated edges, large openings, and exposed components. Central grille sections and lower bumper grille/trim pieces are missing or broken. The front-left corner shows severe damage, including separated body panels, exposed internal components, and large gaps between the hood, fender, lamp area, and bumper. Additional scuffing and scraping are visible around the front bumper and left corner. Behind the damaged fascia, the radiator and adjacent heat-exchanger fins are heavily bent and distorted. A driver airbag has deployed from the steering wheel, and the steering-wheel center cover is displaced. A VIN decode identifies this vehicle as a 2013 Audi A5 Coupe, quattro Premium Plus, with all-wheel drive, a 1.984-litre four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. NHTSA records list three recalls applicable to this model and year. Recall 17V622000 concerns corrosion in the auxiliary-heater electrical connector, which may cause wiring to overheat or melt and increase the risk of fire; the stated remedy involves replacing the auxiliary heater and, where necessary, updating the software. Recalls 17V002000 and 18V229000 concern the electric coolant pump on vehicles equipped with the 2.0-litre Turbo FSI engine. A blocked or moisture-affected pump may overheat or short-circuit, increasing the risk of fire. The remedies involve software updating under 17V002000 and pump replacement under 18V229000. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Audi or an authorized dealer. Given the severe front-end and restraint-system damage, the vehicle requires comprehensive inspection of the front structure, cooling system, electrical components, airbag and seat-belt systems, and drivetrain before any repair or purchase decision.
