2024 AUDI Q5

The vehicle is listed at auction with a Salvage designation and “Right Rear” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated right-rear damage location; however, the Salvage title or status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The right rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area have severe deformation, including deep creases and crushed metal around the rear door edge, fuel-filler area, wheel arch, and rear lamp area. The metal surrounding the right rear quarter-window opening and adjacent pillar is also crushed and torn, with exposed inner material and irregular edges. The right rear quarter-window glass is missing, leaving the interior exposed. The right rear passenger door is moderately creased and deformed along its rear edge and lower section. The wheel-arch trim is absent or detached, with exposed mounting holes and unfinished panel edges. The right rear bumper cover is separated from the body, with open gaps, displaced sections, and exposed components. Broken or missing material is visible at the lower right bumper corner. Paint is chipped and scraped across the damaged quarter panel and along the adjacent upper roof-side edge. The VIN decodes as a 2024 Audi Q5 quattro Premium SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. Factory-listed equipment includes adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping and lane-centering assistance, forward-collision warning, front and rear automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, parking assistance, and a rear visibility system. NHTSA records list four recalls for this make, model, and year. Recall 23V842000 concerns overheating of the 220V/240V compact charging cable or household outlet; the stated remedy is a replacement cable with a temperature sensor. Recall 24V251000 concerns a passenger-seat occupant-detection connection that may deactivate the front passenger airbag; the remedy is replacement of the occupant-detection control module. Recall 25V080000 concerns possible overheating of the high-voltage battery and calls for diagnostic software and, where necessary, a later battery replacement; charging restrictions may apply while the remedy is pending. Recall 25V294000 concerns potentially loose cylinder-head-cover screws that could permit an oil leak; the remedy is inspection and replacement of the screws as necessary. Recall completion and applicability should be verified by VIN with Audi before purchase.
