2020 AUDI Q5

The vehicle is listed by the auction as **Salvage**, with **Right Side** identified as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the right-side damage classification: deformation and surface damage are visible on the right front fender and adjacent body panels. Stage 1 also notes that the Salvage status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The main visible damage is a moderate dent and crease in the rear portion of the right front fender, extending rearward from the wheel opening toward the front door. Paint scuffing is present along the deformed area. Several horizontal dark scuffs and scratches are also visible across the right front door and adjacent lower fender. The right rear door and rear wheel-arch area have additional light horizontal scuffs and localized surface scratches. The available findings concern exterior body and cosmetic damage only. They do not establish the condition of the suspension, wheel alignment, mechanical systems, safety systems, or hidden structural components. A comprehensive inspection is recommended, particularly around the right-side wheel openings, doors, fender mounting areas, and underbody. The VIN decode identifies this vehicle as a 2020 Audi Q5 SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and the quattro Premium Plus trim. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. NHTSA records list several recalls for this model and year. They include rear axle lock-nut and alignment-related recalls, a gateway control-module protection recall, a front-seat frame inspection recall, and a rear wheel-arch trim retention recall. The records also list a charging-cable recall covering certain Q5 vehicles. Recall completion should be verified with an Audi dealer using the VIN before purchase, and any outstanding campaigns should be completed.
