2014 AUDI Q5 Premium Plus

The auction record lists this 2014 Audi Q5 as having a salvage certificate of title, with “REAR END” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated rear-end damage claim: the rear bumper cover is missing and the rear body panels are visibly deformed. Stage 1 also notes that the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The rear bumper cover and lower trim are absent, exposing the silver bumper reinforcement and internal components across the lower rear section. The lower center-right portion of the tailgate has broad inward deformation with multiple creases below and to the right of the license-plate mounting area. The left rear quarter panel, near the taillight and bumper corner, has an irregular deformed contour with visible creasing and exposed inner black plastic components. The outer section of the left rear bumper corner is also missing, leaving the wheel-arch-side liner and mounting area exposed. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2014 Audi Q5 SUV/MPV, built by Audi AG in Germany. It is equipped with a 1.984-liter four-cylinder gasoline 2.0T engine, listed at 220 horsepower, with Premium Plus trim. The drivetrain and transmission specifications were not provided. Official NHTSA recall records identify five applicable campaigns for this model and year: auxiliary-heater wiring corrosion that may overheat or melt the wires; two electric coolant-pump recalls involving overheating or short-circuiting and an increased fire risk; a sunroof-drainage issue that may affect the side-curtain-airbag inflator; and a fuel-pump flange issue that may allow fuel to leak. The recall remedies were described as free repairs or software updates, depending on the campaign. Repair completion should be verified by VIN with Audi or an authorized dealer. The findings document visible rear-end collision damage only. Mechanical, structural, airbag, electrical, underbody, and operational condition were not provided and require separate inspection.
