2021 AUDI A5 quattro Premium

The auction record lists a salvage certificate of title and identifies the primary damage as “SIDE.” The photo-based Stage 1 assessment states that substantial side-collision damage is not clearly visible: the side surfaces appear generally intact apart from minor scuffing, and the “SIDE” damage code is not supported by the visible evidence. Stage 1 also states that the salvage certificate status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. Visible findings are limited to several areas of minor paint loss or chipping on the hood, along with light linear scuffing and abrasion on the lower side doors and rocker-panel area. Numerous small glass fragments are scattered across the driver-side front carpet. The source of the glass and any related damage are not established by the supplied findings. The vehicle should be physically inspected for concealed body, glass, interior, restraint-system, electrical, and mechanical damage before purchase. The VIN decodes as a 2021 Audi A5 Sportback quattro Premium, built in Germany. It has all-wheel drive, a gasoline 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine rated at 261 horsepower, and a seven-speed automatic transmission. NHTSA records identify five recalls applicable to listed 2021 Audi A5 variants, including the A5 Sportback: a rear-seat-belt automatic-locking-retractor issue (21V606000); a rear-axle alignment inspection issue following earlier repairs (22V034000); missing anti-abrasion protection for the rear-light wiring harness in the spare-wheel-well area (20V737000); possible rear-axle trailing-arm lock-nut failure (21V295000); and a software issue that may cause the rearview-camera display to remain blank or black (22V742000). Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Audi or an authorized dealer, and any outstanding repairs should be completed before the vehicle is placed into service.
