2012 AUDI Q5 Premium Plus

This 2012 Audi Q5 is listed at auction with a “Certificate of Title” condition and a stated primary damage classification of “rear end.” However, Stage 1 reports that the provided photos do not show clear rear-end collision damage and that this claim is not supported by the visible exterior evidence. Stage 1 also states that the certificate-of-title condition cannot be confirmed from the photos. The visible damage is limited to minor cosmetic surface scuffs on the hood. Several faint, light-colored linear marks are present across the left and central hood areas, with additional light marks near the front-center portion. No other damage findings were provided. According to the VIN decode, this is an Audi Q5 SUV manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. It is equipped with a gasoline 2.0T four-cylinder engine with a 1.984-liter displacement and a listed Premium Plus trim. The VIN decode does not provide the drivetrain or transmission details. NHTSA records show multiple recalls applicable to this model and year, including recalls involving the fuel-pump flange and fuel leakage, the sunroof drainage system and side airbag inflator corrosion, the driver’s frontal airbag inflator, and potential breakage of the front sunroof glass on certain vehicles. Recall repairs should be verified with Audi using the vehicle identification number before purchase. A physical inspection is also recommended to check the hood finish, confirm the absence of concealed rear-end or mechanical damage, and verify the title and recall-repair status.
