2017 AUDI Q5 quattro Premium Plus

This 2017 Audi Q5 is listed with a salvage certificate, with “rear end” recorded as the auction’s primary damage classification. The auction classification is an unverified claim. The provided photo assessment reports minor scuffing and abrasion on the rear bumper, providing limited support for a rear-end damage claim; however, no major rear-end deformation or extensive collision damage is visibly confirmed. The visible damage consists of light linear scuffing and abrasion across the lower rear bumper cover. White tape partially obscures the bumper surface, so the condition beneath the tape cannot be assessed from the available findings. The documented damage is cosmetic and minor, but a physical inspection is recommended to check the bumper structure, mounting points, rear body panels, sensors, lighting, and underbody components before purchase. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2017 Audi Q5 SUV with all-wheel drive, a gasoline 2.0T four-cylinder engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany and is identified as the quattro Premium Plus trim with the Season of Audi package. Official NHTSA recall records list several campaigns applicable to this model and year. Recall 17V001000 concerns the sunroof drainage system and possible corrosion of the side head air-bag inflator canister. Recall 17V002000 and the later 18V229000 concern the electric coolant pump; the later campaign involves pump replacement because blockage or moisture-related short-circuiting may increase fire risk. Recall 17V297000 concerns a gearbox defect that may allow the vehicle to roll despite being placed in Park. Recall 17V298000 concerns a fuel-pump flange that may crack and leak fuel, increasing the risk of fire. The completion status of these recalls for this vehicle should be verified by VIN with Audi or an authorized dealer before purchase.
