2022 AUDI Q5 S Line quattro Premium

This 2022 Audi Q5 is listed with a salvage certificate of title. The auction’s stated primary damage is FRONT END. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment supports this claim, identifying clear damage at the front bumper and left front corner, with additional damage extending into the left front fender and front door. The front bumper has severe damage at both lower corners. The lower corner trim and grille inserts are missing, leaving open cavities and internal components exposed. The outer covering at the left front bumper corner is also absent, with exposed components and open mounting areas. The left front fender is heavily crushed and creased around the wheel arch and front section. The wheel-well liner or splash shield is missing, leaving the area exposed and mounting holes visible. The adjacent left edge of the hood is visibly deformed. Significant denting and creasing continues across the central and lower portions of the left front door and into the lower side panel. The visible findings indicate substantial collision damage concentrated at the front-left corner and continuing along the vehicle’s left side. The condition of concealed structural components, suspension, steering, cooling systems, safety systems, wiring, and mechanical components cannot be determined from these findings and should be checked through a thorough physical inspection before purchase. The VIN decodes as a 2022 Audi Q5 SUV with all-wheel drive, a gasoline 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder 45 TFSI engine, and an automatic transmission. The decoded trim is S line quattro Premium. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. NHTSA recall records provided for this model year include campaign 23V842 concerning overheating of certain 220V/240V portable charging cables. The VIN decodes as a gasoline vehicle rather than a plug-in hybrid, so the applicability of this recall should be confirmed by VIN and equipment. Campaigns 24V898 and 25V080 concern high-voltage battery overheating in Q5 plug-in hybrid vehicles and may not apply to this vehicle; applicability and completion should nevertheless be verified with Audi. Campaign 25V294 concerns potentially loose cylinder-head-cover screws on certain 2022–2024 Q5 Quattro and Q5 Sportback Quattro vehicles, which may allow oil leakage. Recall completion should be confirmed with an Audi dealer before operation or purchase.
