2017 AUDI Q5

This 2017 Audi Q5 is listed with a salvage certificate of title, with FRONT END recorded as the auction’s primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-left bumper and front-end damage supports the stated FRONT END classification. The salvage title itself cannot be confirmed or contradicted from exterior photographs alone. The front-left bumper cover has extensive scraping, visible cracking, and an irregular open section exposing components behind it. A lower bumper insert or trim section is missing, and the front-left fog-lamp area is an open recess with no lamp assembly or complete cover visible. There is also an uneven gap and separation between the bumper cover and the adjacent headlamp and hood-edge area. The front portion of the hood has a shallow dent to the left of center, and additional scuffing and abrasion are visible on the front-left bumper corner and lower edge. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a left-hand-drive, five-seat SUV with all-wheel drive, a gasoline 3.0T six-cylinder engine, and an automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany and is identified as the S line quattro Premium Plus trim. NHTSA records list recalls for this model year involving the sunroof drainage system and side head-airbag inflator, automatic-transmission gear-position indication, and the fuel-pump flange. Additional listed recalls concern the electric coolant pump on vehicles equipped with the 2.0-liter Turbo FSI engine; this vehicle decodes with the 3.0-liter engine, so those engine-specific campaigns may not apply. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Audi or an authorized dealer before purchase. A physical inspection is recommended to assess bumper mounting, headlamp and fog-lamp components, underlying front-end structure, cooling and air-conditioning components, sensors, and any damage not visible from the exterior.
