2021 AUDI Q5 quattro Premium Plus

This 2021 Audi Q5 is listed with a salvage vehicle title and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible missing and broken bumper material at the front corner supports the FRONT END classification. The salvage title itself cannot be confirmed or contradicted from exterior photographs alone. The most significant visible damage is concentrated at the photographed left/near-side front corner. A substantial section of the front bumper cover is missing or broken, creating an open gap below the headlight and exposing inner bumper-area components. The lower bumper also has missing outer material, an irregular exposed edge, and a small loose-looking piece below the corner. The forward portion of the front wheel-arch trim and adjoining outer material are absent or broken, with mounting points and inner components exposed. These findings indicate that the front bumper and wheel-arch area will require repair or replacement, with the condition of concealed components requiring physical inspection. Light-colored scuffing and irregular scratches are visible on the upper rear hatch below the rear window, to the left of the Audi emblem. The VIN decode identifies this vehicle 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 decoded trim is quattro Premium Plus. It was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. Factory-listed equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rear-visibility system. The vehicle is listed as having five seats and 19-inch wheels. The supplied NHTSA records list several recalls for certain 2021 Audi Q5 vehicles. These include rear-seat-belt retractor issues that may affect child-restraint installation; a rear-axle lock-nut issue that may cause axle misalignment; a related rear-axle alignment inspection issue; a gateway control-module issue associated with liquid ingress that may reduce engine power; and an infotainment software issue that may cause the rearview-camera display to remain blank. The records also include recalls involving a charging cable and a high-voltage battery for certain electrified Q5 variants; applicability to this gasoline-powered vehicle should be verified by VIN. Recall completion status is not provided, so all applicable campaigns should be confirmed with Audi before purchase.
