2017 AUDI Q5

This 2017 Audi Q5 is listed with a salvage certificate, and the auction’s primary damage classification is “minor dent/scratches.” The provided photo assessment found minor exterior scratches and scuffs broadly consistent with that classification; however, no dent is clearly visible. The salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed or contradicted from exterior photographs. Visible damage is limited to cosmetic areas in the provided findings. Light scuff marks and surface scratches are present on the left front fender near the wheel-arch edge. A narrow vertical scratch is visible on the front fender near the side badge. Several light horizontal scuffs are present on the lower central section of the rear bumper cover. No other damage is identified in the supplied findings. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2017 Audi Q5 S line quattro Premium Plus SUV with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. NHTSA records list recalls associated with this model and year, including a sunroof drainage and side head-airbag inflator issue, a 2017 Q5 gearbox defect that could allow the vehicle to roll while in Park, and a fuel-pump flange issue that could result in a fuel leak. Two additional listed recalls concern the electric coolant pump on vehicles equipped with the 2.0-liter Turbo FSI engine; the decoded vehicle has a 3.0-liter engine, so those particular recalls may not apply. Recall completion and vehicle-specific applicability should be verified with Audi using the VIN before purchase.
