2023 AUDI Q5 S Line quattro Premium

The auction record lists a salvage certificate with “greater than 75% damage” and identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. This is an unverified auction designation. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END claim: the photographs show substantial loss of front-end components, although the stated damage level of more than 75% cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The front bumper fascia and grille sections are missing, exposing the front reinforcement bar, cooling components, wiring, and other underlying parts. The right-front headlamp assembly is absent, with its wiring and mounting areas exposed. Front fender panels are missing around the wheel openings, and the left-front fender is absent forward of the wheel arch. The exposed wheel-arch mounting points and inner front-corner components indicate extensive collision damage to the front end. The findings do not establish the condition of the underlying structural, cooling, electrical, suspension, or restraint systems; these areas require a thorough physical inspection before repair or purchase. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2023 Audi Q5 S line quattro Premium SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder 45 TFSI engine, and an automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. NHTSA records list several recalls associated with this model and year. Recall 23V842 concerns the compact 220V/240V charging cable and the risk of overheating at some household outlets. Recall 24V251 concerns the front-passenger occupant-detection system, which may deactivate the passenger airbag. Recall 25V294 concerns potentially loose cylinder-head-cover screws that could allow an oil leak and increase fire risk. Recall completion should be verified by checking the vehicle identification number with Audi or an authorized dealer. The listed high-voltage battery recalls apply to Q5 plug-in hybrid vehicles; this VIN decodes as a gasoline 45 TFSI model rather than a plug-in hybrid.
