2019 AUDI A5 quattro Premium Plus

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction’s primary-damage classification is “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the extensive visible deformation on the left side supports the stated SIDE damage code; however, the salvage-certificate title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The most significant damage is concentrated on the left rear quarter panel and the rear portion of the left door. These areas show severe inward crushing, multiple sharp creases, deep dents, scraped paint, and deformation around the rear wheel arch and fuel-filler area. The fuel-filler opening is distorted, and the presence of the fuel-filler door could not be determined clearly. The extent of the damage indicates that substantial body repair and inspection of adjacent structural, suspension, wheel, fuel-system, and door components may be required; the provided findings do not confirm the condition of those components. With the ignition/display active, the engine, ABS, brake, airbag, traction-control, and seat-belt warning indicators were illuminated. The available image does not establish whether these lights represent active faults or normal ignition-on status, so diagnostic testing will be necessary. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2019 Audi A5 Cabriolet with quattro all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and four seats. It was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. NHTSA records list three recalls associated with this vehicle/model range: rear axle alignment inspection following an earlier repair recall (campaign 22V034000), rear-axle trailing-arm lock-nut replacement (21V295000), and a passenger-seat heating/PODS cable issue that may disable the passenger airbag (21V874000). Recall completion status for this specific vehicle should be verified with Audi or an authorized dealer before purchase.
