2025 AUDI A5

This 2025 Audi A5 is listed with a salvage certificate of title. The auction’s primary damage classification is “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the side-damage classification, with extensive deformation to the rear door, rear quarter panel, and lower side area, although substantial front-end damage is also visible. The visible side damage is severe. The rear door is crushed inward with multiple deep creases across the outer and lower panels. The rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area are heavily crumpled around the rear wheel. The lower section of the front door and adjacent side bodywork show broad creasing, rippling, and dark scuffing. The exterior mirror housing or cover is missing, leaving internal components and wiring exposed. The front end also has significant collision damage. The hood is severely buckled and folded across the front and center sections, with an irregular edge above the grille. The grille has distorted or broken-looking sections, irregular openings, and displaced trim around the central emblem. The front bumper cover, fascia, surrounding trim, and grille area are deformed, with broken or displaced black trim and uneven gaps. Factory VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a German-built 2025 Audi A5 Sportback, S line quattro Premium Plus, with all-wheel drive, a gasoline 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and an automatic transmission. The decoded output lists a 261-horsepower engine and standard features including forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, parking assistance, and curtain, front, and side airbags. The condition of these systems and their sensors cannot be determined from the supplied findings. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model year. Recall 25V638000 concerns possible production damage to one or both front seat-belt retractors; the stated remedy is replacement of the affected front seat belt assemblies at no charge. Recall 25V899000 concerns the rear automatic-locking retractor potentially failing to engage when securing a child seat; the stated remedy is inspection and replacement of the affected rear seat-belt assemblies as necessary, also at no charge. Recall completion should be confirmed by VIN with Audi or NHTSA. Given the extensive structural-area panel deformation, front-end damage, exposed mirror wiring, and salvage title, a complete physical inspection is recommended before purchase, including the body structure, wheel-arch and suspension areas, steering, restraint systems, wiring, sensors, and alignment.
