2018 AUDI A5

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate indicating “more than 75% damage,” with “front end” recorded as the auction’s primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end damage supports the front-end classification; however, the photographs do not establish that the total damage exceeds 75% of the vehicle’s value. The Audi A5 has severe collision damage concentrated across the entire front end. The front bumper, lower fascia, grille area, and lighting assemblies are missing or displaced, leaving wiring, brackets, mounting areas, and cooling components exposed. The front-right corner is extensively crushed, and the headlamp on that side is detached and hanging outside its normal position. The opposite front lighting area is also open, with the lamp assembly absent. The hood has major buckling, creasing, and upward deformation and is not seated evenly against the surrounding bodywork. Front-fender deformation is visible around the wheel arches and forward edges, with irregular panel gaps. The front cooling assembly is visibly separated below the engine bay. The photographs do not establish the condition of concealed structural, mechanical, suspension, or electrical components, so these areas require a thorough physical inspection. The driver steering-wheel airbag is deployed. Curtain airbag fabric is visible along the driver-side roof and upper door area, with additional airbag fabric visible in the passenger-side upper interior. Airbag modules, pretensioners, sensors, wiring, and related restraint-system components should be professionally inspected and replaced as required before the vehicle is considered roadworthy. A light horizontal scuff and discoloration are visible on the lower rear bumper. VIN data identifies this vehicle as a 2018 Audi A5 Coupe built by Audi AG in Germany. It is specified with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. NHTSA records identify several recalls associated with 2018 Audi A5 vehicles, including recalls concerning the passenger airbag occupant-detection system, passenger airbag module mounting, head-curtain airbag deployment, and seat-related passenger-airbag detection components. Some other listed campaigns apply specifically to A5 Sportback vehicles rather than the Coupe. Recall applicability and completion should be confirmed with Audi using the VIN, particularly because the vehicle has deployed airbags and substantial collision damage.
