2016 AUDI Q5 quattro Premium Plus

The auction record lists the vehicle’s primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible damage to the front bumper assembly supports this damage code. The vehicle is also listed with a CERTIFICATE OF TITLE; however, Stage 1 states that the title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The most significant visible damage is to the front bumper assembly. The lower bumper cover is cracked and broken across both lower corners, with multiple sections missing and internal components exposed. The lower center bumper lip is detached and hanging below the bumper. The image-left lower corner has fractured plastic, missing black trim, and open gaps. Trim or grille material is also missing around the image-right lower opening near the fog-lamp area. Additional body damage is visible on both sides. The left rear door has an inward crease with broad light-colored scuffing or paint transfer across the middle and lower areas. The right rear door has similar scuffing or paint transfer with surface deformation, and additional horizontal scuffing is visible on the adjacent right front door. The provided findings do not establish the condition of the underlying structure, cooling system, lighting, safety systems, or mechanical components. A physical inspection is recommended, particularly because internal components are exposed behind the damaged bumper. The bumper assembly and any related mounting points, sensors, wiring, cooling components, and lower front-end structures should be checked before purchase. The doors should also be inspected for proper alignment, operation, and concealed damage. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2016 Audi Q5 quattro Premium Plus SUV, built in Germany.
