2014 AUDI Q5

This 2014 Audi Q5 is listed with a salvage certificate and an auction primary-damage classification of “REAR END.” The available photo-based assessment supports the rear-end damage classification, showing substantial damage to the tailgate and rear bumper. The salvage-certificate status itself cannot be confirmed from the photos. The lower rear tailgate is severely crushed, with pronounced buckling, creasing, and inward deformation extending across the license-plate area toward the right side. The rear bumper cover is severely detached and torn. It is hanging below the vehicle, displaced at the right corner and across the left and center sections, with broken-looking edges, large gaps, exposed lower components, and visible wiring. Multiple scrape and abrasion marks are also present on the lower tailgate and remaining bumper surfaces. The VIN decodes the vehicle as a 2014 Audi Q5 SUV manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. It is identified with a 2.967-liter six-cylinder diesel engine and a reported output of 240 hp. The decoded data does not specify the drivetrain or transmission. NHTSA records list several recalls associated with the 2014 Audi Q5. These include recalls involving the auxiliary-heater electrical connector and the sunroof drainage system and side-curtain-airbag inflator area. Additional listed recalls concern the electric coolant pump and fuel-pump flange on applicable gasoline-powered vehicles; these may not apply to this vehicle because it is decoded as diesel-powered. Recall completion should be verified with Audi using the VIN before purchase. The visible damage is concentrated at the rear, but the condition of components behind the bumper, the tailgate structure, wiring, sensors, exhaust system, body alignment, and other mechanical or safety systems cannot be determined from the supplied findings. A complete physical inspection and confirmation of repair quality are recommended.
