2023 AUDI Q5 quattro Premium Plus

The vehicle is listed by the auction as having a salvage flood title with primary damage classified as water/flood. However, Stage 1 reported that the exterior, interior, engine bay, and illuminated dashboard photographs showed no visible horizontal tide line, water staining, silt or mud residue, mold-like discoloration, visible corrosion on interior components, or widespread dashboard malfunction indicators. Stage 1 therefore concluded that the visible evidence does not support the unverified flood claim. No separate vehicle damage findings were provided. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2023 Audi Q5 quattro Premium Plus SUV, equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. Several NHTSA recall records are associated with 2023 Audi Q5 vehicles. These include a front-passenger occupant-classification system recall, in which a loose electrical connection may deactivate the passenger air bag, and an engine recall concerning cylinder-head-cover screws that may loosen and allow an oil leak. The VIN-specific completion status and applicability of these recalls should be confirmed with an Audi dealer. The records also include traction-battery and charging-cable recalls affecting certain Q5 plug-in-hybrid or charging-equipped vehicles; the VIN decode identifies this vehicle as a gasoline 40 TFSI model rather than a plug-in hybrid, but this should still be verified by VIN before purchase.
