2016 AUDI Q5

The vehicle is a 2016 Audi Q5 with a salvage title, and the auction lists the primary damage as front end. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim: the front bumper and grille assembly are missing, one headlamp is absent, and a detached damaged headlamp assembly is shown. The front bumper fascia and grille assembly are absent, leaving the radiator and other front-end components exposed. Lower trim and corner pieces are also missing on both sides, with loose and exposed components visible. The removed bumper assembly has irregularly broken sections along its lower edge. A detached headlamp assembly has broken or separated housing and mounting sections, while the electrical lead remains attached. One front corner is missing its headlamp, exposing internal components and wiring. At the rear, the center of the bumper has multiple black scuff and paint-transfer marks, along with areas of white paint loss. No other damage findings were provided. According to the VIN decode, this is an Audi Q5 SUV built in Germany with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The decoded trim information includes 3.0T S Line quattro Premium Plus and S Line TDI quattro Premium Plus designations; the provided engine data identifies the vehicle as gasoline-powered with a 3.0-liter engine. NHTSA records list five recalls associated with the 2016 Audi Q5. Campaign 17V622000 concerns auxiliary-heater wiring that may overheat or melt because of connector corrosion, increasing fire risk. Campaign 17V001000 concerns sunroof drainage and possible corrosion of a side-curtain-airbag inflator. Campaign 17V298000 concerns a fuel-pump flange that may crack and leak fuel. Campaigns 17V002000 and 18V229000 concern electric coolant pumps on vehicles equipped with 2.0-liter Turbo FSI engines; the decoded vehicle has a 3.0-liter engine, so those two campaigns may not apply to this vehicle. Recall completion should be verified with Audi using the VIN. The visible front-end damage is substantial, and the exposed cooling, lighting, wiring, and mounting components require a detailed physical inspection before repair or operation. The supplied findings do not establish the condition of any concealed structural, mechanical, electrical, or safety-system components.
