2015 AUDI Q5

The 2015 Audi Q5 is listed by the auction with a “CERT OF SALVAGE > 75% DAMAGE” designation and a primary damage classification of “SIDE.” The visible denting and scraping on the left-side doors support the auction’s SIDE classification; however, the visible exterior evidence does not support a claim of more than 75% damage. The left front door has a broad inward dent with substantial creasing across the lower and middle sections, along with light-colored scrape marks and lower-section scuffing. The left rear door has a pronounced irregular dent with multiple creases and similar scraping, particularly across the lower half. These door repairs may require significant panel repair or replacement and refinishing. The available findings do not establish whether the doors, locks, windows, pillars, or adjacent structural components operate correctly, so these areas should be inspected physically. The front leather seat upholstery shows normal-looking creasing and wrinkling, with no clearly visible tears or exposed material. According to the VIN decode, this is a Germany-built 2015 Audi Q5 SUV/MPV with a 1.984-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine capable of using E85 fuel. The decoded information lists approximately 220 horsepower, four doors, front-row side and advanced airbags, curtain airbags for all rows, and indirect tire-pressure monitoring. The drivetrain and transmission details were not provided. Six NHTSA recalls are listed for this vehicle’s make, model, and year. They involve the auxiliary-heater electrical connector, sunroof drainage and side airbag inflator corrosion, the electric coolant pump, the fuel-pump flange, and potentially defective front seat-mounted side-airbag inflators on certain production dates. The reported remedies include inspections, software updates, protective treatment, or replacement of affected components at no charge. Recall completion should be confirmed with an Audi dealer using the VIN before purchase.
