2015 AUDI Q5 Premium Plus

The auction record lists a salvage certificate of title and identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible missing front bumper cover, grille, and both headlamp assemblies support the stated front-end damage claim; however, the salvage-title designation cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The front bumper cover is missing across the front of the 2015 Audi Q5, leaving the radiator and other internal front-end components exposed. Both left- and right-side headlamp assemblies are absent, with open cavities at the front corners. The center grille is also missing. Additional front-end fascia and trim components are absent at the front-left corner and lower front area, where internal brackets, cooling components, and wiring are visible. The vehicle will require substantial front-end replacement and a thorough inspection of the exposed components, wiring, cooling system, and underlying structure before repair or operation. Several NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model and year. They include recalls concerning auxiliary-heater wiring that may overheat, sunroof drainage and side air-bag inflator corrosion, electric coolant-pump overheating or short-circuiting on vehicles with the 2.0L Turbo FSI engine, a potentially cracking fuel-pump flange, and side/window air-bag inflators on certain Q5s manufactured from January 13 to February 3, 2015. Recall applicability and completion should be verified by VIN with Audi, particularly because some campaigns depend on the vehicle’s equipment or production date.
