2012 AUDI Q5 Premium Plus

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end damage supports the stated FRONT END classification; the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The Audi Q5 has severe collision damage concentrated at the front. The hood is extensively crushed, with deep creases, folded sections, and displaced edges above the grille and fenders. Both front fenders are severely deformed around the wheel arches, with scraped paint and exposed inner components. The front bumper cover is torn and displaced, with missing or broken sections at both corners and components exposed behind the fascia. The grille and surrounding frame are displaced, with broken or missing trim and open gaps. Additional broken plastic is present around the lower front corner and fog-lamp area. A component with attached wiring is hanging below the front bumper. The visible front radiator and support area contains displaced, broken, and irregularly positioned components, with the front structure exposed behind the damaged fascia. The extent of the visible damage means that the condition of concealed structural, cooling, electrical, airbag, steering, suspension, and mechanical components requires comprehensive physical inspection and testing before repair or road use. Minor additional damage includes light scuffing on a rear bumper corner and a chipped, irregular section in the lower rocker trim ahead of the rear wheel.
