2017 AUDI Q5 quattro Premium

The auction record identifies this vehicle as having a salvage title, with FRONT END listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end damage supports the stated FRONT END damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The vehicle has severe collision damage concentrated at the front. The hood is heavily creased and deformed, with an uneven raised gap above the front lighting and cooling area. The front bumper cover, center grille, lower fascia, and one complete headlamp assembly are missing, exposing the reinforcement bar, radiator and condenser area, wiring, brackets, and other internal mounting components. The front fender on the right side of the image has sharp creases and crushed sections around the wheel opening, while additional bumper-corner and lower-trim components are missing. The exposed cooling pack has visibly damaged and irregular fins. A large black plastic panel is detached and displaced over the front-right portion of the engine-bay opening. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag is deployed and hanging outward, indicating that the restraint system will require inspection and likely repair or replacement. No assessment of the vehicle’s mechanical operation, structural alignment, cooling-system function, or other airbag components is provided. Additional cosmetic damage includes a dark scuff or paint-transfer mark on the rear quarter panel near the fuel-filler door and light linear scuffing across the lower center of the rear bumper cover. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2017 Audi Q5 quattro Premium 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.
