2021 AUDI Q5 quattro Premium

The vehicle is listed with a SCRAP CERTIFICATE OF TITLE, and the auction’s primary damage classification is FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end damage claim because substantial damage and missing components are visible at the vehicle’s left front corner. Stage 1 also reports that the scrap certificate title status cannot be confirmed or contradicted from exterior photographs. The visible damage is concentrated at the left front bumper and lower front fascia. Large sections of the bumper cover and lower fascia are missing, exposing internal front-end components and mounting areas. The left front bumper cover has torn and broken edges and is separated from the surrounding bodywork. Trim or liner along the left front wheel arch is missing, with mounting holes and inner areas exposed. Brackets and wiring are visible within the bumper opening, and a wiring harness is hanging below the bumper area. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2021 Audi Q5 quattro Premium SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. The supplied specifications also list 19-inch wheels, five seats, and standard safety equipment including front, side, and curtain airbags, forward collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rearview camera system. The supplied NHTSA records identify several recalls applicable to the 2021 Audi Q5. These include recalls involving the middle-rear seat-belt automatic locking retractor, rear axle lock nuts and subsequent rear axle alignment, gateway control-module protection against liquid intrusion, rearview-camera display software, and possible engine connecting-rod bearing damage that could lead to engine failure. The records also include a charging-cable overheating recall and a high-voltage battery overheating recall covering certain Q5 vehicles; applicability should be confirmed by VIN and vehicle powertrain. Recall completion and any outstanding remedies should be verified with an Audi dealer before purchase. Because the front bumper structure, mounting points, wiring, wheel-arch area, and potentially concealed components are exposed or damaged, the vehicle requires a comprehensive inspection before repair or road use. The inspection should include the cooling and front-end systems, lighting and driver-assistance sensors, wiring, suspension and steering components, structural mounting points, airbag and restraint systems, and a full diagnostic scan. The scrap title designation may also affect registration, insurability, financing, and future resale.
