2018 AUDI Q5 quattro Premium

This 2018 Audi Q5 is listed with a salvage certificate indicating “more than 75% damage” and a primary damage classification of “front end.” The provided photo assessment supports the front-end classification but does not support or establish the more-than-75%-damage claim; the visible damage is concentrated at the front, while most other visible exterior areas appear intact. The front bumper cover has severe damage, including extensive cracking, tearing, missing sections, and exposed internal components at the left corner and lower edge. The front grille and lower-left grille area also have multiple broken, displaced, or missing components, leaving the lower-left opening exposed. The hood’s leading edge has an uneven gap above the grille and substantial chipped or missing paint. Additional pronounced scraping and gouging are visible across the center-left and lower front bumper. A coolant-temperature or coolant-system warning indicator is illuminated in the instrument cluster. This confirms that a warning is present, but the underlying cause cannot be determined from the available images. The cooling system should be diagnosed before purchase or operation. According to the VIN decode, this is an all-wheel-drive, gasoline-powered SUV with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, automatic transmission, and the quattro Premium trim. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. The VIN provided is WA1ANAFY2J2021442. NHTSA records show several recalls applicable to the 2018 Audi Q5, including recalls involving brake caliper performance, the brake master cylinder, seat-belt pretensioners, wheel-arch trim, and the gateway control module. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with an Audi dealer, and any outstanding safety recalls should be addressed before the vehicle is driven. A comprehensive inspection should also cover the cooling system, front-end mounting points, radiators and condenser, lighting, sensors, braking system, airbag and restraint systems, wiring, wheel alignment, and any hidden mechanical or structural damage.
