2015 AUDI Q5 Premium Plus

The vehicle is listed by the auction as “REBUILT SALVAGE – DEALER ONLY,” with “MECHANICAL” recorded as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that this mechanical classification requires a physical inspection and cannot be confirmed or contradicted from the available photos. Stage 1 also reports that the visible exterior does not show a clearly identifiable major collision-damage pattern. The documented visible damage includes minor cosmetic wear on the black leather front driver’s seat cushion and outer bolster, with creasing and wrinkling across the surface. Two black plastic components are lying separately on the gravel beside the vehicle. The larger piece has irregular edges and visible surface damage, while the smaller piece has a mounting feature. Their original attachment location on the vehicle cannot be confirmed from the available image. Factory data identifies this vehicle as a 2015 Audi Q5 Premium Plus SUV, VIN WA1LFAFP7FA074535, built in Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0T gasoline engine with approximately 1.984 litres of displacement and four cylinders. The decoded data lists front and side airbags for the first row, curtain airbags for all rows, and indirect tire-pressure monitoring. Drive type and transmission details were not provided. NHTSA records show several recalls applicable to this model and model year. These include recalls involving auxiliary-heater wiring that may overheat or melt, sunroof drainage and side-curtain-airbag inflator corrosion, the electric coolant pump, the fuel-pump flange, and potentially rupturing front seat-mounted side-airbag inflators on vehicles manufactured during a specified January–February 2015 production period. The listed remedies include inspections, software updates, component replacement, or protective treatment, as applicable. Recall completion for this specific vehicle was not provided and should be verified with Audi using the VIN. Because the auction classification identifies mechanical damage and the attachment point and condition of the loose components are unknown, a comprehensive physical inspection and diagnostic evaluation are recommended before purchase. This should include checking the engine and cooling system, fuel system, wiring, airbag system, underbody, structural condition, and the operation of all safety systems.
