2019 AUDI Q5 quattro Prestige

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate, and the auction identifies the primary damage as SIDE. The auction designation is unverified. Stage 1 reports that the visible deformation and scraping along the lower side doors and rocker panel support the unverified SIDE damage claim; however, the salvage certificate status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The visible damage includes a broad, shallow dent with an uneven crease in the lower front door. The lower edges of the visible doors and the rocker-panel trim have extensive abrasion, including red and dark-colored material transfer and areas of disturbed white coating. Several dark scuff marks and a narrow abrasion line are also present on the visible corner of the front bumper below the headlamp. These findings describe visible exterior damage only and do not establish the condition of hidden structural, suspension, mechanical, electrical, or safety systems. The VIN decodes as a 2019 Audi Q5 quattro Prestige SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle is listed as left-hand drive, with seating for five, and was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. NHTSA records show recalls applicable to this model and model year involving the gateway control module, wheel-arch trim, the passenger frontal air-bag module and instrument-panel carrier, and the brake master cylinder. The reported remedies include protective covers and underbody sealing, securing or replacing wheel-arch trim, replacing affected instrument-panel and air-bag components, and inspecting or replacing the brake master cylinder as applicable. Recall completion for this vehicle should be verified by VIN with Audi or an authorized dealer before purchase.
