2017 AUDI Q5

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a certificate of salvage, with “front end” identified as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the photos show localized front bumper damage, including missing lower bumper trim and scuffing, which supports visible front-end damage. The photos do not independently confirm the certificate-of-salvage status. Visible damage is concentrated at the right side of the front bumper. A black lower bumper opening trim/grille section is missing, exposing the mounting area beside the fog lamp. The surrounding bumper has dark scuffing, abrasion marks, localized paint loss, and small areas of missing white finish. Minor isolated paint chips and marks are also visible on the right-side rear door and adjacent rear quarter area. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2017 Audi Q5 S line quattro Premium Plus SUV with all-wheel drive, a gasoline 3.0T six-cylinder engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. NHTSA records list several recalls for 2017 Audi Q5 vehicles, including recalls involving the sunroof drainage system and side head-airbag inflator, the automatic transmission gear-position mechanism, and the fuel-pump flange. Additional coolant-pump recalls listed for the Q5 apply to vehicles equipped with 2.0-liter Turbo FSI engines; the decoded vehicle is equipped with a 3.0T engine. Recall completion status is not provided, so the VIN should be checked with Audi or an authorized dealer before purchase.
