2012 AUDI Q5 Premium Plus

This 2012 Audi Q5 is listed with a Salvage Certificate of Title, which cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The auction’s primary-damage code is FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports this damage classification. The front bumper cover has severe damage, with substantial sections missing from the center and lower openings and black internal components exposed. There are open gaps around the lower lamp areas, while the bumper edges and center grille show separation and irregular alignment. The front grille and chrome surround are displaced, with broken or separated sections along the lower and side edges. The leading edge of the hood has an uneven raised contour and visible deformation above the grille. Dark scuff marks and paint abrasion are also present near both front bumper corners and adjacent painted areas. The front license-plate mounting panel is hanging diagonally rather than sitting flush with the surrounding assembly. Based on the provided findings, the visible damage is concentrated at the front exterior. The condition of internal structural components, cooling systems, lighting, sensors, airbags, suspension, steering, and mechanical systems is not established and should be checked through a physical inspection and repair assessment. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a German-built 2012 Audi Q5 SUV with a gasoline 2.0T four-cylinder engine of approximately 1.984 litres. The decoded trim is Premium Plus. Drive type and transmission details were not provided by the decoder. NHTSA records list recalls for this model and year involving the fuel-pump flange and a subsequent fuel-pump repair campaign, the driver’s frontal air-bag inflator, the sunroof drainage system and side head-air-bag inflator area, and, for certain vehicles, the front sunroof glass panel. Recall completion status for this specific vehicle should be confirmed with an Audi dealer using the VIN before purchase.
