2019 AUDI Q5 45 PREMIUM

The auction record labels this 2019 Audi Q5 as “Salvage” with “Rear” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence contradicts the rear damage code: the clearest damage is at the front corner and along the side door/quarter-panel area, with no significant rear-end damage visibly apparent. Stage 1 also notes that the salvage status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. Visible damage includes multiple cracks across the headlamp lens at the damaged front corner, with damage to the internal lamp area. The lower outer front-bumper grille insert is missing, leaving internal components exposed. The surrounding bumper has light-colored scuffing and paint transfer. The visible rear door has a large inward dent with several sharp horizontal and diagonal creases extending from the handle area toward the lower edge. Abraded paint and scrape marks are present on the lower rear door and adjacent rear quarter panel near the wheel arch. The visible rear alloy wheel has scraped and chipped areas along its outer rim. The instrument cluster shows an illuminated airbag warning, red warning triangle, and yellow stability-control warning. These indicators require diagnostic testing, and the airbag system and stability-control system should be inspected before the vehicle is considered roadworthy. The front lighting, bumper area, body structure, wheel, suspension, steering, and related safety systems should also be physically inspected for damage not determinable from the provided findings. Factory data identifies the vehicle as a 2019 Audi Q5 quattro Premium Plus SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico.
