2025 AUDI Q5

The auction listing identifies this 2025 Audi Q5 as Salvage, with Rear listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated rear primary-damage claim because substantial damage is clearly visible at the rear bumper and left rear body area. However, Stage 1 also notes that salvage status cannot be confirmed from exterior photos alone. The rear bumper has severe damage across most of its width, including extensive crushing, cracking, deformation, and separated sections. The bumper cover and rear bumper assembly are displaced, with the left side hanging outward and downward. A large detached trim section is partly resting on the ground, and internal components are visible through the damaged openings. The left rear quarter area below and beside the tail lamp has moderate creasing and deformation, with an uneven gap where it meets the bumper. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2025 Audi Q5 quattro Premium SUV with all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this vehicle model and year: campaign 26V266000, concerning incorrectly manufactured driver and front-passenger seat-belt pretensioner assemblies that may not properly restrain occupants in a crash. Audi’s stated remedy is to replace the affected seat belts as necessary, free of charge. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with an Audi dealer before purchase or use.
