2014 AUDI Q5

The 2014 Audi Q5 is listed with a salvage title, and the auction identifies the primary damage as front-end damage. Stage 1’s assessment states that the visible evidence supports this claim, with severe damage apparent across the hood, bumper, grille, front fenders, lamp areas, cooling assembly, and front support. The hood is extensively crushed, with deep creasing and deformation across both front corners and the center-front edge. The front bumper cover is fractured and displaced, with broken sections and missing portions of the lower fascia. The grille is also displaced and deformed, with broken lower components and open gaps. Both front fenders are severely crushed around the wheel arches and front corners, with torn or displaced panel edges and exposed components. The right-front headlamp area is displaced, with broken or missing surrounding trim and internal components visible behind it. The left-front headlamp surround and adjacent bumper structure are broken and displaced, although the lamp lens remains present. The lower bumper-corner trim has additional cracks, breaks, and missing sections. Significant damage is visible in the front engine-compartment area. The radiator and condenser surfaces are heavily bent and compressed, with damaged fins. The upper radiator support is bent and has a pronounced break or opening near the center. Missing or displaced front panels leave wiring, cooling components, brackets, and other internal parts exposed. The available findings do not confirm the condition of the engine, drivetrain, suspension, safety systems, or other components not visible in the assessment. Official NHTSA recall records list several recalls applicable to this model and year. These include auxiliary-heater wiring that may overheat or melt, electric coolant-pump overheating or short-circuiting on vehicles equipped with the 2.0L Turbo FSI engine, sunroof drainage-related corrosion of the side head-airbag inflator, and a fuel-pump flange that may crack and leak. Recall remedies include software updates, coolant-pump replacement, inspection or replacement of the affected airbag inflator, and fuel-pump-flange inspection or repair. Completion status for this individual vehicle should be verified by VIN with Audi or an authorized dealer.
