2021 AUDI Q5 quattro Premium Plus

This 2021 Audi Q5 is listed with a salvage certificate and an auction primary-damage designation of “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that visible damage to the grille, hood leading edge, and front bumper supports the stated FRONT END classification; the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from exterior photos. The front grille is severely damaged, with multiple broken and displaced horizontal and vertical slats, open gaps, and damage to the internal grille structure. The Audi rings emblem is missing. Both lower front bumper corner trim or insert components are absent, leaving internal components exposed. The lower front bumper cover has breaks and separated sections, including an uneven opening along its lower edge. The front license-plate bracket is hanging downward. The leading edge of the hood has a moderate, uneven deformation across the center-front area. The instrument display reportedly shows: “Turn off engine and check coolant level.” This indicates a coolant-level or cooling-system concern, but the specific cause and condition cannot be diagnosed from the supplied findings. A complete inspection of the cooling system, engine compartment, warning-code history, and vehicle operation is recommended before purchase. The VIN decodes as a 2021 Audi Q5 SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The recorded trim is quattro Premium Plus. The vehicle was manufactured in Mexico. NHTSA records provided for the 2021 Audi Q5 include recalls involving the rear-seat-belt automatic-locking retractor, rear axle lock nuts and alignment, gateway control-module protection from liquid intrusion, rearview-camera display software, engine connecting-rod bearings, and—where applicable to the relevant electrified configuration—charging equipment and high-voltage battery overheating. Recall applicability and completion should be verified by the full VIN with an Audi dealer, particularly for powertrain-specific campaigns. The visible cooling-system warning and the front-end damage should also be investigated independently of the recall history.
