2021 AUDI Q5 quattro Premium Plus

The auction record identifies this 2021 Audi Q5 as having a salvage collision title with “REAR END” listed as the primary damage. The visible evidence supports that reported rear-end damage: the rear bumper cover is missing across the vehicle, exposing the underlying bumper structure and exhaust components. The lower center of the rear liftgate is creased and pushed inward around the license-plate recess, while the right side of the liftgate and adjacent bumper corner show additional creasing and deformation. Right rear bumper-corner trim is also missing, leaving components exposed. The reported damage is significant and will require a thorough structural, mechanical, electrical, and safety-system inspection before repair or road use. The VIN decodes as a 2021 Audi Q5 quattro Premium Plus SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. The instrument display reportedly shows a “Child safety lock: malfunction! Please contact Service” warning. A yellow engine-shaped warning indicator is also illuminated; the available finding does not establish its cause. Both issues should be diagnosed, and the child-safety-lock system should be repaired before the vehicle is used to transport children. The supplied NHTSA recall records include campaigns concerning the rear middle seat-belt retractor, rear axle lock nuts and post-repair alignment, gateway control-module protection against liquid ingress, rearview-camera display software, and possible engine connecting-rod-bearing damage. Additional records concern charging equipment and a high-voltage battery for applicable electrified Q5 vehicles; this VIN decodes as a gasoline model, so those items should be confirmed against the VIN. Recall completion status is not provided, and Audi should be contacted to verify all outstanding repairs before purchase.
