2019 AUDI Q5 quattro Premium Plus

The auction record identifies this 2019 Audi Q5 as having a salvage certificate of title, with “SIDE” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that visible extensive damage to the vehicle’s left side supports the SIDE primary-damage claim; however, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photos. The vehicle shows severe collision damage on the left side. The left front door has a large, irregular inward deformation across the middle and lower sections, with creasing, abrasions, and paint scuffing. The rear edge of the left front fender is creased and deformed, and the left rocker panel/side sill below the front door is visibly distorted. The lower trim line in this area is also irregular. The driver-seat outer side airbag is deployed, with white and yellow fabric protruding from the seat bolster. The left side-curtain airbag is also deployed, with inflated fabric hanging from the roof area along the upper left door opening. The instrument cluster displays, “Safety system: malfunction! See owner’s manual,” along with multiple illuminated warning indicators. The airbags, restraint system, body structure, door, rocker panel, and related electronic systems require professional assessment and repair before the vehicle can be considered roadworthy. NHTSA records list five safety recalls applicable to the 2019 Audi Q5: recall 21V947000 concerning possible liquid penetration and shutdown of the gateway control module, which could suddenly reduce engine power; recall 19V416000 concerning wheel-arch trim that may loosen and detach; recall 19V473000 concerning a passenger frontal airbag and instrument-panel carrier; recall 19V737000 concerning rear wheel-arch trim clips; and recall 19V277000 concerning a brake master-cylinder casting that could cause loss of braking.
