2021 AUDI Q5 SPORTBACK

The auction record lists the vehicle as Salvage with “Front End” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the Front End classification: substantial damage is visible to the front-left hood, fender, bumper, grille, headlamp, and lower front-end components. Stage 1 also notes that the Salvage title status cannot be independently confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The 2021 Audi Q5 Sportback has moderate to severe collision damage concentrated at the front-left corner. The hood is creased and deformed near its front edge and left corner, with an uneven gap above the grille and headlamp. The front bumper cover and lower fascia are missing or broken away, with detached and hanging sections, torn plastic, exposed components, hoses or ducting, and loose wiring visible. A detached bumper or fascia piece is lying on the ground in front of the vehicle. The front-left headlamp has a cracked lens and damaged housing; it is displaced from its normal position and partially separated from the vehicle. The left side of the grille and surrounding trim are broken and displaced, leaving open gaps. The front-left fender is severely crushed around the wheel opening, and some wheel-arch trim is missing, exposing components in the inner wheel area. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag is visibly deployed. The photographs do not establish the condition of hidden structural, mechanical, cooling, electrical, suspension, or restraint-system components. A comprehensive inspection and diagnostic scan will be required before repair or purchase decisions, including evaluation of the front-end structure, radiator-area components, wiring, wheel and suspension assemblies, airbag system, and occupant-safety systems. According to the NHTSA VIN decode, this is a 2021 Audi Q5 Sportback SUV/MPV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The decoded trim is quattro Premium Plus, with seating for five and 19-inch front and rear wheels. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico.
