2017 AUDI Q5 quattro Premium

This 2017 Audi Q5 is listed by the auction as “DEALER ONLY CLEAN TITLE,” with “FRONT END” recorded as the primary damage. These are auction designations and are not independently verified. Stage 1 reports that the visible photos do not support the stated front-end damage claim: no clear front-end body deformation or broken front exterior component is visible. The visibly damaged component is the windshield. Clean-title status cannot be verified from the photos. The windshield has multiple visible cracks and branching fracture lines across the passenger-side upper and central areas, including long horizontal cracks near the upper and middle sections. The damage is assessed as moderate and will require professional evaluation and likely windshield replacement before normal use. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2017 Audi Q5 SUV with all-wheel drive, a gasoline 2.0T four-cylinder engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany and is identified with the quattro Premium trim. NHTSA records show five recalls applicable to the 2017 Audi Q5: a sunroof drainage issue that may lead to corrosion of a side-curtain-airbag inflator, two electric coolant-pump fire-risk recalls, an automatic-transmission defect that may allow the vehicle to roll while in Park, and a fuel-pump-flange issue that may cause a fuel leak. The supplied information does not confirm whether the recall repairs have been completed, so completion should be verified with Audi or an authorized dealer using the VIN. A comprehensive physical inspection is recommended, including checks of the windshield installation area, front-end structure, safety systems, and recall repair history.
