2016 AUDI Q5 2.0T PREMIUM

The auction record lists the vehicle as “Salvage” with a primary damage classification of “Front & Rear.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the Front & Rear classification through substantial front-left damage and a separated left rear bumper corner. However, the salvage title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The most significant damage is concentrated on the left front corner. The left front door mirror is completely missing, leaving wiring and internal components exposed. The left front fender and wheel-arch area are extensively crushed and sharply creased, with openings and exposed components near the lower front edge. The lower side trim and adjacent mounting area ahead of the left front door are broken or missing. The left front bumper corner is detached from the body, creating a large gap and exposing inner components. The left front fog-lamp surround and lower bumper insert are also cracked and broken, with missing sections. At the rear, the left bumper corner is partially detached from the body around the wheel arch, leaving a visible gap and exposed attachment points. Based on the factory VIN decode, this is a 2016 Audi Q5 SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline/E85 engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. The findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, suspension, steering, cooling system, airbags, electrical systems, or structural components. A comprehensive physical inspection and diagnostic evaluation would be necessary before determining roadworthiness or repair cost. NHTSA records list the following recalls applicable to this make, model, and year: auxiliary-heater wiring that may overheat or melt; electric coolant-pump issues that may increase fire risk, including a later pump-replacement campaign; a sunroof-drainage issue that may affect the side-curtain-airbag inflator; and a fuel-pump flange that may crack and leak. The available information does not confirm whether any of these recall repairs have been completed.
