2018 AUDI Q5 quattro Premium Plus

The auction record identifies this 2018 Audi Q5 as having a salvage title, although the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The listed primary damage is FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end collision damage supports this classification. The vehicle-left front bumper cover and corner sections are missing, leaving internal components and mounting structures exposed. A large section of the lower bumper corner is also absent, while the remaining bumper material has cracks, fractured edges, and separated sections. Black plastic trim and grille-area pieces at the bumper-to-fender junction are broken or missing. The vehicle-left front fender is deformed along the leading edge, headlamp area, and wheel arch, with irregular contours and exposed attachment points. The hood is bent at the vehicle-left leading corner, with a raised and uneven edge above the damaged bumper and fender. The provided findings document exterior collision damage only. They do not establish the condition of the underlying structure, cooling and lighting systems, suspension, steering, safety systems, or mechanical components. These areas should be physically inspected before purchase and repair. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2018 Audi Q5 Premium Plus quattro SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. NHTSA records list six recalls applicable to the 2018 Audi Q5: recalls concerning brake-caliper piston coating and braking performance, the brake master cylinder, front and rear wheel-arch trim attachment, seat-belt pretensioner operation, and possible liquid intrusion affecting the gateway control module. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with an Audi dealer before the vehicle is driven or purchased.
