2017 AUDI Q5 quattro Premium Plus

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage-title certificate, with FRONT END recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-left collision damage supports the FRONT END classification. However, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The 2017 Audi Q5 has severe collision damage concentrated at the front-left corner. The hood has multiple pronounced dents and creases, particularly on the left side, with an unevenly deformed front edge. The front-left fender is crushed and sharply creased around the headlamp and wheel-arch area. The front-left headlamp assembly is missing, leaving internal components and wiring exposed. The left side of the front bumper cover is broken, displaced, and incomplete, while additional front-corner mounting areas, components, and wiring are visible through the damaged panels. The lower left fascia and fog-lamp surround are also broken and incomplete, with displaced trim and an open section. A VIN decode identifies this vehicle as a German-built 2017 Audi Q5 SUV with all-wheel drive, a gasoline 2.0T four-cylinder engine, and an automatic transmission. The decoded trim is quattro Premium Plus. Official NHTSA recall records list several campaigns applicable to the 2017 Audi Q5: recall 17V001 concerning possible corrosion and rupture of the side head-airbag inflator related to sunroof drainage; recalls 17V002 and 18V229 concerning the electric coolant pump and an increased fire risk; recall 17V297 concerning possible unintended vehicle movement despite selecting Park; and recall 17V298 concerning a potentially cracked fuel-pump flange that may leak fuel. The supplied information does not confirm whether any of these recalls have been completed on this vehicle. Due to the extent of the front-end damage, a comprehensive inspection of the structure, cooling system, wiring, lighting, restraint systems, steering, suspension, and drivetrain is recommended before purchase.
