2014 AUDI A5 quattro Premium

The auction record lists the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE SLVG REBUILDABLE,” with “FRONT END” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-left bumper damage supports the stated FRONT END classification; however, the salvage/rebuildable title status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The main visible damage is concentrated at the front-left corner. The bumper cover has a large broken and partially detached section, with missing material, an irregular opening, exposed dark material, and a white section projecting outward. Scuffing and paint transfer are visible on the front-left fender and adjacent bumper area. The front-left headlamp lens appears cloudy and discolored. The visible findings do not establish the condition of components behind the bumper, the cooling system, suspension, steering, or the vehicle’s structural elements, so these areas should be physically inspected. The left rear fuel-filler door is missing, leaving the filler area exposed. Inside, the black leather front-left seat has pronounced creasing, abrasion, and worn areas on the outer bolster and lower cushion. The steering-wheel rim also shows surface wear and discoloration. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2014 Audi A5 coupe with quattro all-wheel drive, a 1.984-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 220 horsepower, automatic transmission, and gasoline/E85 fuel capability. It was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. NHTSA records list three recalls applicable to this make, model, and year. Recall 17V622000 concerns corrosion in the auxiliary-heater electrical connector, which may cause wiring to overheat or melt and increase fire risk. Recalls 17V002000 and 18V229000 concern the electric coolant pump, which may overheat or short-circuit and also increase fire risk. Recall 18V229000 provided for pump replacement, while the earlier campaign involved a software update. The completion status of these recalls should be verified with Audi using the VIN.
