2014 AUDI Q5 Premium Plus

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a certificate of title and classifies the primary damage as “minor dent/scratches.” Stage 1 reports that the visible scratches and scuffs are consistent with the stated minor dent/scratches classification, although no clear dent is visible. The certificate-of-title status cannot be confirmed from the available exterior and interior photographs. The visible exterior damage is minor and cosmetic. Several thin, light-colored horizontal scratches are present on the lower rear tailgate below the Audi emblem and around the license-plate mounting area. Light linear scuffing is also visible along the upper rear bumper cover. Additional thin horizontal scratches appear across the black front lower grille and license-plate mounting area. Inside, the brown leather on the driver’s seat lower cushion and front bolster shows creasing and localized surface discoloration. The rear seat cushions also have visible creasing and wrinkling. No other findings were provided. Mechanical, structural, and operational condition cannot be assessed from these findings alone.
