2016 AUDI Q5 quattro Premium Plus

This 2016 Audi Q5 is listed by the auction with a salvage vehicle title and “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that visible damage to both lower front bumper corners and the bumper-to-fender area supports the front-end damage classification; however, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front bumper has moderate damage on both lower corners. The lower bumper inserts/grilles are missing, leaving open cavities with internal mounting components visible. The bumper cover has irregular openings and separated lower edges around the fog-lamp areas. On the left side, the bumper-to-fender edge is visibly separated, and the lower edge of the left front fender is irregular and damaged. The extent of any hidden damage to the bumper reinforcement, mounting points, lighting components, or systems behind the bumper requires physical inspection. Light linear scuff marks are visible on the left front and rear doors below the handles. Brownish staining and discoloration are present on the light-colored front seat cushions, including the front passenger seat, as well as on the rear seat cushions. According to the VIN decode, this is an all-wheel-drive SUV with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and the quattro Premium Plus trim. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. NHTSA records list five recalls applicable to this make, model, and year. They concern the auxiliary-heater electrical connector, the electric coolant pump, the sunroof drainage system and side-curtain-airbag inflator, and the fuel-pump flange. The reported remedies include software updates, inspections, protective treatment, or component replacement, depending on the recall. Recall completion should be verified with Audi or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
