2022 AUDI Q5

The auction record lists the vehicle as salvage, with “Rear” recorded as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible rear-end damage supports the auction’s “Rear” damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be independently confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The most significant damage is concentrated at the rear. The lower rear bumper cover and lower fascia are missing across the center and both corners, exposing the reinforcement bar, mounting hardware, wiring, exhaust components, and underlying panels. Both lower bumper side sections are also absent, leaving open gaps at the rear corners. The left rear bumper corner has missing exterior material, broken edges, damaged or missing mounting trim, and an open cavity around the wheel-arch junction. The wheelhouse liner, internal plastic structure, wiring, and body-side mounting surfaces are exposed in this area. The right rear wheel-arch trim is missing near the bumper junction, with inner plastic components and attachment points visible. The remaining upper rear bumper cover has light scuffing and surface marks. Additional minor scuffing is present on the lower central area of the black front grille. The extent of any damage behind the visible exterior components, including the condition of the exposed wiring, reinforcement, exhaust components, mounting points, and body structure, requires a physical inspection. A “Lane change warning: malfunction! Please contact Service.” message is displayed in the instrument cluster. This indicates a driver-assistance system fault, although the underlying cause is not established by the available findings and should be diagnosed before purchase or road use. The VIN decodes as a 2022 Audi Q5 S line e quattro Premium Plus SUV with all-wheel drive, an automatic transmission, and a 2.0-litre turbocharged 55 TFSI plug-in hybrid powertrain. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. The provided NHTSA recall records identify several recalls relevant to this model and model year. Recall 23V842 concerns the 220V/240V compact charging cable, which may overheat at full-charge settings; the stated remedy is a replacement cable with a temperature sensor. Recalls 24V898 and the superseding 25V080 concern possible overheating of the high-voltage traction battery. The stated interim guidance is not to charge affected vehicles until the applicable remedy is completed, with advanced diagnostic software and further action specified by the manufacturer. Recall 25V294 concerns cylinder-head-cover screws that may have been improperly tightened, potentially allowing an oil leak; the remedy is dealer inspection and replacement as necessary. Recall completion and applicability to this specific VIN should be verified with Audi or an authorized dealer.
