2022 AUDI Q5 S Line quattro Prestige

The auction records list this 2022 Audi Q5 as “CERT OF TITLE – SALVAGE” with “REAR END” as the primary damage. The Stage 1 assessment states that the visible evidence supports the rear-end damage claim because the rear bumper cover is broken, detached, and partially missing. Salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photos. The principal damage is concentrated at the rear bumper. The lower bumper cover is severely separated from the vehicle, with large sections broken or missing. Open gaps expose black components behind the bumper, and detached lower trim is hanging below the vehicle. The left rear bumper corner and lower edge have additional severe separation, while the right lower corner has a large opening with broken white plastic edges and exposed black material. Multiple light horizontal scuffs are also visible on the rear liftgate below the Audi emblem and around the license-plate mounting area. The VIN decodes as a 2022 Audi Q5 S line quattro Prestige SUV with all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder 45 TFSI gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. NHTSA recall records include several campaigns associated with 2022 Audi Q5 vehicles. Recall 25V294 concerns possible loosening of cylinder-head-cover screws, which may allow an oil leak and increase fire risk; the remedy is inspection and replacement of the screws as necessary. Recall 25V080 concerns potential overheating of the high-voltage battery in Q5 plug-in hybrid vehicles, while recall 23V842 concerns overheating of a 220V/240V portable charging cable on applicable vehicles. Because the decoded vehicle is identified as a gasoline 45 TFSI model rather than a plug-in hybrid, the charging-related recalls may not apply. Recall applicability and completion should be verified with Audi or an authorized dealer using the VIN. The rear bumper and liftgate damage should also be physically inspected for damage to mounting points, sensors, wiring, structural components, and the exhaust or underbody before purchase.
