2023 AUDI Q5 S Line quattro Prestige

The 2023 Audi Q5 is listed with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and REAR END as the auction’s primary damage classification. The visible severe rear damage supports the REAR END claim; however, the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The vehicle has extensive collision damage concentrated at the rear. Both the left and right rear quarter panels and body corners are severely crushed around the tail lamps and hatch opening. The metal surrounding the upper rear hatch opening is bent and irregular, and the rear roof edge above the opening is buckled. The liftgate is deeply crushed and buckled across its width, and the rear windshield is missing. The rear bumper assembly is severely torn, crushed, detached, and missing sections on both sides. Mounting areas, wiring, and lower components are exposed, with loose wiring and hardware hanging beneath the vehicle. The left rear tail lamp is broken and displaced, while the right rear tail lamp is displaced with irregular gaps around the housing. Sections of the left rear wheel-arch trim are also missing. Large dents and pronounced horizontal and diagonal creases affect the outer panels of both the left front and left rear doors, including their lower sections. These door damages are classified as moderate. The VIN decodes as a 2023 Audi Q5 SUV with the S line quattro Prestige trim, all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline 45 TFSI four-cylinder engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. Official NHTSA records supplied for the 2023 Audi Q5 include recalls involving the front passenger occupant-classification system, which may deactivate the passenger airbag; cylinder-head-cover screws on certain Q5 Quattro vehicles, which may allow an oil leak; and a charging-cable overheating risk on applicable vehicles. Separate high-voltage battery-overheating recalls are listed for Q5 plug-in hybrid vehicles; the VIN decode identifies this vehicle as gasoline-powered rather than a plug-in hybrid. Recall applicability, completion status, and any required repairs should be verified directly by VIN with an Audi dealer.
