2016 AUDI Q5 2.0T PREMIUM

The 2016 Audi Q5 is listed by the auction with Salvage status and “Rear” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the rear damage code: the rear bumper cover is missing and the rear bumper reinforcement is exposed. The Salvage designation itself cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The complete rear bumper cover is absent from the vehicle, exposing the bumper reinforcement beam, lower rear structure, exhaust components, and bumper-side mounting areas at both rear corners. A matching bumper cover is shown separately on the ground rather than installed. The findings confirm damage or removal in the rear bumper area, but they do not establish the condition of the exposed internal components, exhaust system, sensors, mounting hardware, or body structure. A physical inspection is recommended before purchase. The VIN decodes the vehicle as a 2016 Audi Q5 quattro Premium Plus SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. NHTSA records list five recalls applicable to this make, model, and year: an auxiliary-heater wiring connector that may overheat or melt; electric coolant-pump overheating or short-circuiting; sunroof drainage that may allow corrosion of a side-curtain-airbag inflator; and a fuel-pump flange that may crack and leak fuel. The records describe free remedies for these issues, but the available information does not confirm whether the recall repairs have been completed on this vehicle.
