2021 AUDI Q5 quattro Premium Plus

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate and an auction claim of more than 75% damage, with “FRONT END” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end collision damage supports the FRONT END classification, but the photographs alone cannot confirm the more-than-75%-damage claim. The visible damage is concentrated at the front corner and extends across the front bumper, fascia, fender, hood, grille surround, and radiator-opening area. The bumper assembly is severely broken, partially detached, and missing substantial sections, with internal components exposed. One front headlamp assembly is absent, leaving wiring and other components visible. The front fender is heavily crushed, creased, and torn around the wheel opening, while the hood has pronounced creasing, scraped paint, and an uneven leading edge. A lower bumper insert or trim section is missing, and a detached plastic front-end panel is lying across the upper engine-compartment area. Additional damage is visible along the front edge of the front door and adjacent rocker-area trim, including scraping, torn material, and exposed damaged surfaces. Both roof-side curtain airbags are deployed and hanging from the interior roof and upper side-window areas. This indicates a substantial collision event and means that the restraint system, related sensors, interior trim, wiring, and possible structural areas require comprehensive inspection and repair. Mechanical, cooling-system, suspension, steering, wheel, and alignment damage cannot be determined from the supplied findings and should be checked before purchase. The vehicle should not be considered road-ready in its current condition. Several NHTSA safety recalls are listed for the 2021 Audi Q5. These include recalls involving the middle-rear seat-belt automatic-locking retractor, rear-axle lock nuts and alignment, a gateway control module that may shut down after liquid intrusion, rearview-camera display software, and potential engine connecting-rod-bearing damage that could lead to engine failure. Additional recalls concern the charging cable and high-voltage battery for applicable electrified or plug-in-hybrid configurations. Recall completion should be verified by the vehicle identification number and Audi service records, particularly because the vehicle has extensive collision damage and exposed front-end components.
