2017 AUDI Q5

The auction record identifies this 2017 Audi Q5 as having a salvage certificate, with “front end” listed as the primary damage. This is an unverified auction classification. The Stage 1 photo review found no major visible front-end collision damage in the provided images; only minor surface scuffing at the lower front bumper edge and minor scratches on the hood were visible. The salvage certificate status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The documented exterior damage consists of thin linear scratches on the painted hood near the front edge, slightly right of center, and light-colored abrasion marks along portions of the lower front bumper edge. Both are classified as minor cosmetic damage. No other findings were provided. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a left-hand-drive 2017 Audi Q5 SUV with all-wheel drive, a gasoline 3.0T six-cylinder engine, and an automatic transmission. The decoded trim is S Line quattro Premium Plus, and the vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. NHTSA records list several recalls associated with this model year. These include a sunroof drainage and side airbag inflator corrosion issue, a 2017 Q5 gearbox issue that may allow the vehicle to roll while in Park, and a fuel-pump flange issue that may cause a fuel leak. Two listed coolant-pump recalls apply to vehicles equipped with the 2.0-liter Turbo FSI engine; the decoded vehicle has a 3.0-liter engine, so those engine-specific campaigns may not apply. Recall applicability and completion should be confirmed with Audi using the VIN before purchase.
