2018 AUDI Q5 quattro Premium

The auction record lists this 2018 Audi Q5 as salvage, with “Front End” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that visible evidence supports this claim, with extensive front-end collision damage clearly visible. The front bumper cover, grille, and both headlamp assemblies are missing. The bumper reinforcement is severely bent, displaced, and separated from surrounding components. The intercooler is detached and visible below the vehicle. Multiple front-end components, brackets, panels, hoses, and wiring are exposed and visibly displaced, broken, or hanging. A front fender is missing, and the associated wheel-arch trim is also absent or detached; several trim pieces and a damaged headlamp assembly are lying on the ground. The hood is raised and deformed, with creases along the front edge and left-front area. Chipped paint exposes lighter material. The visible front and rear door panels have multiple large dents, sharp creases, and irregular deformation. The visible rear quarter panel around the wheel opening is also heavily dented and creased, with chipped paint. The driver and front passenger airbags are deployed. The instrument display shows “Front passenger airbag: off.” The vehicle should not be considered roadworthy until the complete restraint system, wiring, cooling system, front structure, lighting, steering, suspension, and braking systems have been professionally inspected and repaired. The extent of damage may include components not visible in the provided findings.
