2018 AUDI Q5 quattro Premium Plus

The vehicle is a 2018 Audi Q5 with a salvage title. The auction lists the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification, with substantial damage across the hood, bumper, grille, headlamp areas, and front fascia. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood has multiple deep creases, sharp folds, and deformed edges near the front-right corner. The front bumper cover is detached and displaced, with broken and missing sections. The grille assembly is detached and hanging forward, with broken mounting points and distorted surrounding trim. Both front headlamp assemblies are missing, leaving open areas and internal components exposed. The front fender and wheel-arch area are torn and displaced, with missing outer material and exposed inner components. The open front fascia exposes cooling-area components, brackets, hoses, wiring, and other internal parts; several components are detached or hanging. Additional damage is visible to the lower front structure and bumper-related components, including broken trim, loose wiring, and displaced parts. Both roof-side curtain airbags and the driver steering-wheel airbag are deployed. Further inspection is required to determine the condition of the underlying front structure, cooling system, wiring, suspension, steering, braking system, restraint system, and other components not fully assessable from the provided findings. Replacement and calibration of safety-system components may also be required. The supplied recall information lists six NHTSA campaigns applicable to certain 2018 Audi Q5 vehicles.
