2014 AUDI Q5 Premium Plus

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title and identifies “REAR END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this unverified auction claim, with extensive damage to the rear liftgate, rear window, bumper assembly, rear fascia, and left rear quarter area. Stage 1 also notes that the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The left rear quarter panel is severely crushed and creased around the tail lamp and wheel-arch area. Adjacent trim and rear bumper components are displaced or missing. The rear bumper cover is detached or largely absent, with broken components hanging from the left rear corner and loose pieces below the liftgate. The liftgate is extensively crushed and creased across its lower and central sections, and the rear liftgate glass is completely missing, leaving the cargo opening exposed. The rear lamp assemblies are displaced, with their mounting and surrounding body areas exposed. Multiple lower rear fascia and bumper-trim pieces are broken, detached, or hanging below the vehicle. Exposed exhaust and underbody components are also visible in the damaged rear area. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2014 Audi Q5 Premium Plus SUV, manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. It is equipped with a gasoline 2.0T four-cylinder engine with approximately 1.984 litres of displacement and a listed output of 220 horsepower. The drivetrain and transmission details were not provided. NHTSA records list recalls concerning the auxiliary-heater electrical connector, the electric coolant pump, the sunroof drainage system and side head-airbag inflator area, and the fuel-pump flange. The reported remedies include component replacement, software updates, inspections, protective treatment, or replacement as applicable. Completion of these recalls on this specific vehicle has not been established and should be verified through Audi or an authorized dealer using the VIN. The findings document extensive rear collision damage. They do not establish the vehicle’s mechanical condition, structural alignment, airbag status, water tightness, drivability, or the extent of damage behind the visible body panels. A comprehensive physical inspection and repair estimate are recommended before purchase.
