2019 AUDI Q5 quattro Premium Plus

The auction record lists a certificate of salvage with more than 75% damage. However, Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence does not support this designation: the vehicle appears externally intact in the provided photos, with no significant collision damage visible. Stage 1 states that the photos are broadly consistent with the auction’s “NORMAL WEAR” primary-damage code, while noting that hidden or non-visible damage cannot be assessed. No specific vehicle damage findings were provided. A physical inspection is recommended to check the structure, underbody, mechanical systems, electrical components, and any previous repairs before purchase. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2019 Audi Q5 quattro Premium Plus SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 248 hp, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in San Jose Chiapa, Mexico. NHTSA records identify five recalls applicable to this make, model, and year. They concern possible gateway control module shutdown caused by liquid intrusion, loosening wheel-arch trim, a passenger airbag and instrument-panel carrier issue, rear wheel-arch trim retention, and a potentially undersized brake master-cylinder casting. Recall repairs should be verified by VIN with an Audi dealer, as completion status was not provided.
