2018 AUDI Q5 quattro Premium

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE” condition and identifies the primary damage as “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible damage supports the FRONT END classification; however, the certificate-of-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front end has extensive collision damage. The front bumper cover is severely detached and broken, with large sections hanging away from the vehicle and another section on the ground. The headlamp is missing from the left front corner as viewed from the front, while the lower bumper trim and grille sections are missing or broken, leaving open cavities and internal components exposed. The front fender and wheel-arch area have broken or missing exterior material, exposed mounting points, and visible inner components. The lower grille and adjacent grille pieces are displaced and broken. The hood has moderate creasing and deformation, primarily at the left-front area and front edge, along with light scuff and transfer marks. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag is visibly deployed. Multiple scratches are present on the clear instrument-cluster cover. The supplied recall records identify several campaigns applicable to 2018 Audi Q5 vehicles. These include recalls involving brake-caliper coating and possible reduced braking performance (18V369000), the brake master cylinder and potential sudden brake loss (19V277000), wheel-arch trim attachment (19V416000 and 19V737000), driver seat-belt pretensioner operation (16V955000), and possible gateway control-module shutdown caused by liquid penetration (21V947000). Recall completion should be verified by the vehicle identification number, and the vehicle should receive a complete inspection and repair before road use, particularly because of the deployed airbag, missing lighting, exposed components, and front-end damage.
