2021 AUDI Q5 quattro Premium Plus

This 2021 Audi Q5 is listed by the auction with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and a REAR END primary-damage classification. The provided Stage 1 assessment states that the visible evidence supports the REAR END classification because the rear bumper cover and associated rear-corner components are missing. The SALVAGE CERTIFICATE designation cannot be confirmed or contradicted from the available photos alone. The most significant visible damage is at the rear. The rear bumper cover is missing, exposing the reinforcement bar, mounting hardware, wiring, and underlying components. Exterior trim and cover pieces are also absent from the right rear bumper and quarter-panel corner, with internal plastic structures and mounting points visible. A long black trim piece is hanging from the right rear corner, and the right rear wheel-arch molding is missing. Additional exterior damage includes a missing wheel-arch molding on the left front side and missing lower side trim along the left lower doors and rocker panel. Several light scuffs and scratches are visible on the left front fender and adjacent front door. Inside the vehicle, the rear passenger-door trim panel is missing, leaving the inner door metal, speaker, wiring, and hardware exposed. The instrument cluster displays the warning: “Left side turn signal faulty. See owner's manual.” The cause of this fault should be diagnosed, particularly because rear-area wiring and components are exposed. The supplied findings do not confirm the condition of the underlying structure, lighting assemblies, sensors, suspension, mechanical systems, or water protection. A complete physical inspection and electronic diagnostic scan are recommended before purchase and repair. According to the VIN decode, this is an all-wheel-drive Audi Q5 SUV with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The decoded trim is quattro Premium Plus, with seating for five and 19-inch front and rear wheels. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico.
