2019 AUDI Q5 quattro Premium

This 2019 Audi Q5 is listed with a salvage certificate of title. The auction identified the primary damage as “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible rear-end damage supports this classification, particularly around the right rear taillight, quarter panel, wheel-arch trim, and bumper. The main damage is concentrated on the right rear corner. The right rear taillight lens and housing are broken, exposing internal components. The right rear bumper corner has heavy scuffing, breaks, separated edges, and a hanging exterior section. The lower right rear bumper also has abrasions and an open gap. The right rear quarter panel has dents, creasing, and multiple dark scuff marks. Trim is missing from the right rear wheel arch, leaving mounting holes exposed, while a long white exterior trim piece is detached and hanging beside the wheel. The lower right rear bodywork and bumper show broad black scuffing, scraped paint, and visibly separated edges. The provided findings do not establish the condition of the underlying structure, suspension, wheel, lighting circuitry, or other mechanical and safety systems; these areas require a physical inspection and repair assessment. The VIN decodes as a 2019 Audi Q5 quattro Premium SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and five-seat configuration. It was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. NHTSA records list five recalls for this make, model, and year: gateway control-module liquid intrusion that may reduce engine power; rear wheel-arch trim that may loosen or detach; a passenger frontal air-bag and instrument-panel carrier issue; a separate rear wheel-arch trim retention issue; and a brake master-cylinder casting issue that could cause loss of braking. Recall completion for this vehicle should be confirmed by VIN with Audi or an authorized dealer before purchase. The missing and detached wheel-arch trim visible in the findings should also be checked against the applicable trim recalls.
