2016 AUDI Q5 quattro Premium Plus

The auction record lists this 2016 Audi Q5 as having a salvage/rebuildable title and identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end damage supports the FRONT END classification. However, the salvage/rebuildable title status cannot be confirmed from vehicle photographs alone. The vehicle has severe collision damage concentrated at the front end. The front bumper cover and lower fascia are extensively cracked, torn, detached, and partially missing, with internal components visible through the openings. The damaged front corner, fender, and wheel-arch area are significantly deformed, with broken edges and large gaps around the bumper and headlamp. The hood is creased and uneven at the front corner, and the front fender is deformed around the wheel arch and headlamp opening. One headlamp assembly is missing, leaving an open cavity, and portions of the surrounding front fascia and trim are absent or broken. The instrument cluster shows illuminated check-engine, ABS, airbag, and electronic-stability-related warning indicators. The available findings do not establish the cause of these warnings or the vehicle’s mechanical condition. A complete structural, electrical, restraint-system, cooling-system, and mechanical inspection is recommended before purchase, along with verification that all required repairs and calibrations have been completed. According to the VIN decode, VIN WA1L2AFP7GA027230 identifies a 2016 Audi Q5 SUV with all-wheel drive, 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. These concern the auxiliary-heater electrical wiring, the electric coolant pump, the sunroof drainage system and side-curtain-airbag inflator, and the fuel-pump flange. The reported risks include wiring or coolant-pump overheating, potential airbag-inflator rupture, and fuel leakage. Recall remedies were described as free repairs or software updates, but the available information does not confirm whether any of these recall repairs have been completed on this vehicle.
