2022 AUDI A5 quattro Premium

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a Certificate of Salvage with “REAR END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible deformation and cracking support the stated rear-end damage code; however, the certificate-of-salvage status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The rear trunk lid is severely deformed, with a broad horizontal crease across the upper and central sections, an uneven contour, a raised rear edge, and irregular side gaps. The rear bumper cover also has extensive severe damage, including a long horizontal split or crack across the upper section, central creasing, deformation at the lower-right corner, and an irregular lower edge. The black lower bumper and diffuser trim is displaced and separated from its normal position, with the right side hanging below the bumper line. The findings indicate substantial rear-end collision damage. The condition of any underlying structure, mounting points, sensors, lights, or internal components is not established by the provided findings and should be physically inspected. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2022 Audi A5 Sportback, quattro Premium trim, with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model and year. Recall 21V825000 concerns a software issue that may prevent the rear-view camera image from initially displaying when reversing; Audi’s stated remedy is a free infotainment-parameter update. Recall 22V806000 concerns possible internal damage to the infotainment unit that may make the rear-view camera display inoperative after startup; the stated remedy is free replacement of the infotainment main unit. Recall completion for this specific vehicle should be verified by VIN with Audi or an authorized dealer.
