2021 AUDI A5 quattro Premium

This 2021 Audi A5 is recorded with a salvage vehicle title and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification, with extensive damage present at both front corners. The front-end damage is severe. The hood is heavily deformed and creased on both the right- and left-front sides. Both front fenders are crushed around the headlamp and wheel-opening areas. The right and left headlamp assemblies are broken and partially missing, with exposed internal components and broken lens material. Both front bumper corners are torn and deformed, with missing sections and visible components behind them. The lower right bumper opening also has missing grille or trim material. Additional cosmetic damage includes horizontal scuffing and light-colored paint transfer across the rear bumper cover, plus a small paint chip on the left rear quarter panel near the fuel door. The instrument cluster displays an “Audi adaptive light: malfunction! See owner's manual.” message, and a tire-pressure warning is illuminated. The adaptive lighting fault is a specific concern that should be checked during inspection, along with the headlamp wiring, control modules, and other collision-related systems. The available findings do not establish the cause or extent of any mechanical or structural damage. According to the VIN decode, this is an Audi A5 Sportback with quattro all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, a seven-speed automatic transmission, and an 18-inch wheel configuration. It was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. The records provided list five safety recalls affecting the 2021 Audi A5 range: a rear-seat-belt automatic-locking retractor issue, rear axle alignment inspection and possible tire-wear concerns, rear-light wiring anti-abrasion protection, rear axle trailing-arm lock nuts, and a software issue that may cause a blank rearview-camera display. Completion status is not provided, so recall work should be verified with Audi using the VIN. A comprehensive post-repair inspection is recommended before purchase, including structural measurements, suspension and steering checks, airbag and restraint-system diagnostics, lighting-system testing, wheel alignment, and a full scan for stored fault codes.
