2014 AUDI Q5 Premium Plus

The 2014 Audi Q5 is listed with an MV-907A salvage certificate and an auction primary-damage classification of “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that visible damage at the left front fender, hood edge, bumper corner, and lower front bumper supports the stated FRONT END classification. The salvage-certificate status itself could not be verified from the photographs. The most significant damage is concentrated on the left front corner and side. The left front fender is severely creased and deformed around the wheel arch and rear edge, with an irregular opening near the adjacent door and lower side area. The left front door has a broad dent with multiple horizontal creases and localized paint scuffing. The rocker panel and lower side skirt beneath the door are distorted, with an uneven edge and damaged or displaced trim near the front wheel. At the front, the left side of the hood has a pronounced uneven gap with the adjacent fender, and the hood edge sits higher than the surrounding panel. The left front bumper corner has an open, irregular cavity with separated or missing outer trim around the lower lamp opening. The left lower fog-lamp/grille insert is missing, leaving an exposed dark opening, while the corresponding trim on the opposite side is present. The condition of the underlying structure, wheel and suspension components, lighting, cooling system, restraint systems, and mechanical operation cannot be determined from these findings and should be inspected before purchase. According to the VIN decode, this is a German-built 2014 Audi Q5 Premium Plus SUV with a gasoline 2.0T engine, approximately 1.984 liters, four cylinders, and a rated output of 220 horsepower. The VIN data does not specify the drivetrain or transmission. NHTSA records list five safety recalls applicable to this make, model, and year. These concern auxiliary-heater wiring that may overheat or melt, two electric coolant-pump campaigns involving overheating or fire risk, sunroof drainage and side-airbag inflator corrosion, and a fuel-pump flange that may crack and leak fuel. The available information does not confirm whether any of these recall repairs have been completed, so the vehicle’s recall history should be checked with Audi using the VIN.
