2019 AUDI A5

The auction record identifies this vehicle as having a salvage vehicle title with FRONT END listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible missing and detached front-end components support the auction’s FRONT END damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The 2019 Audi A5 has severe visible damage concentrated at the front. The front bumper cover, center grille assembly, and both headlamp assemblies are missing. The front fascia is open, exposing internal front-end and cooling components. A bumper cover, grille assembly, lamp assembly, and additional trim pieces are detached and lying on the ground in front of the vehicle. The condition of components behind the exposed area, including the cooling system, structural members, sensors, wiring, and other mechanical or safety systems, is not established by these findings and requires a thorough physical inspection. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2019 Audi A5 Sportback, S line quattro Premium Plus, built in Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. NHTSA records show three applicable recalls. Recall 21V295000 concerns a rear-axle trailing-arm lock nut that may break and cause axle misalignment or loss of control. Recall 22V034000 concerns possible improper rear-axle alignment inspection after repairs, which may lead to uneven tire wear. Recall 21V874000 concerns a passenger-seat detection-system cable fault that may disable the passenger air bag. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Audi before purchase or operation.
