2017 AUDI Q5 quattro Premium Plus

The auction lists this 2017 Audi Q5 as having a salvage title and identifies the primary damage as “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive rear-end damage supports the auction’s rear-end damage claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The damage is concentrated on the left rear corner. The left rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area are severely crushed, with deep creasing and irregular deformation. The left side and lower section of the rear hatch are also severely buckled and displaced, particularly around the left tail lamp and license-plate recess. The surrounding tail-lamp bodywork is distorted, and the lamp assembly is positioned within the deformed panel area. The left rear bumper assembly has severe deformation, cracking, and missing cover material. Internal components and wiring are exposed below the tail lamp, while loose electrical wiring and connectors hang from the damaged bumper area. The lower bumper trim has separated from the body, leaving open gaps and loose components. Additional deformation and uneven gaps are visible at the left rear bumper corner and lower hatch edge. According to the VIN decode, this is a German-built 2017 Audi Q5 quattro Premium Plus with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-litre four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle is associated with several NHTSA safety recalls, involving the sunroof drainage and side airbag inflator area, the electric coolant pump, automatic-transmission park-position retention, and the fuel-pump flange. Recall completion should be verified with Audi or an authorised dealer before purchase.
