2021 AUDI Q5 quattro Premium Plus

This 2021 Audi Q5 is listed with an auction condition of “Certificate of Destruction” and a primary-damage classification of “Front End.” Stage 1 reports that the visible front-left collision damage supports the unverified “Front End” claim; however, the certificate-of-destruction status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The most significant visible damage is concentrated at the front-left corner. The fender is heavily crumpled and folded around the wheel arch and behind the headlamp. A substantial section of the front-left bumper cover is missing, exposing internal mounting components. The remaining lower bumper material is cracked, torn, and deformed, and the lower bumper opening is missing its lamp or trim insert. A long, curved black exterior trim piece is detached and lying beside the vehicle. Light scuff and scratch marks are also visible across the hood and front bumper. The damage assessment is based on the supplied findings and does not establish the condition of hidden structural, suspension, steering, lighting, safety-system, cooling, or mechanical components. A thorough physical inspection and repair estimate would be required before purchase, including checks for damage behind the front-left fender and bumper and confirmation that all safety and driver-assistance systems operate correctly. The VIN decodes as a 2021 Audi Q5 SUV with quattro all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a seven-speed automatic transmission. It is identified as the Premium Plus trim, with seating for five and 19-inch front and rear wheels. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. NHTSA records supplied for the 2021 Audi Q5 list several recalls requiring VIN-specific completion verification. These include recalls involving the rear middle-seat-belt automatic locking retractor (21V606000), rear axle lock nuts and a related rear-axle alignment inspection (21V295000 and 22V034000), possible gateway control-module shutdown caused by liquid intrusion (21V947000), a rearview-camera display software issue (22V742000), and possible engine connecting-rod-bearing damage that could result in engine failure (22V753000). Records also include charging-cable overheating and high-voltage battery recalls (23V842000 and 25V080000); applicability should be confirmed because the VIN decodes as a gasoline vehicle rather than an identified plug-in hybrid. Recall completion and any outstanding remedies should be confirmed with an Audi dealer before purchase.
