2025 AUDI Q5

The vehicle is a 2025 Audi Q5 e, identified by the VIN decoder as an AWD Sport Utility Vehicle with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder plug-in hybrid powertrain, automatic transmission, and a combined output of 362 horsepower. It is listed as the S line quattro Premium Plus trim and was manufactured in Mexico. The auction record designates the vehicle as Salvage, with “Front End” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the Front End classification, citing substantial damage to the front bumper, grille, headlamp area, and adjacent trim. However, Stage 1 also states that the Salvage status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The most significant damage is concentrated at the front. The headlamp assembly is missing from the front corner shown on the image-right, leaving wiring and internal mounting components exposed. The bumper cover on the same side is extensively torn, with missing sections, exposed internal components, and a detached section visible below the corner. Several grille elements on the image-right side are cracked, displaced, and heavily scuffed. The outer wheel-arch trim is missing around the front wheel shown on the image-left, exposing mounting points and the inner edge. A broad light-colored abrasion or paint-transfer mark is also visible across the front portion of the black hood. The instrument cluster displays the warning: “Left high beam headlight faulty. See owner's manual.” This warning is reported separately from the missing headlamp identified at the image-right front corner, and the relationship between the two findings should be verified during inspection. The VIN record shows standard equipment including all-wheel drive, LED lower-beam headlamps, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping and lane-centering assistance, forward-collision warning, parking assistance, and multiple airbag systems. The listed damage may affect lighting, driver-assistance sensors, wiring, mounting structures, and related systems; these items require physical inspection and functional testing. An NHTSA recall, campaign 26V266000, applies to certain 2025 Audi Q5, Q5 Sportback, SQ5, and SQ5 Sportback vehicles. The recall concerns driver and front-passenger seat-belt pretensioners that may have been manufactured incorrectly and may not properly restrain occupants in a crash. Audi’s stated remedy is replacement of the affected seat belts as necessary, free of charge. Recall completion for this vehicle should be verified with Audi or an authorized dealer before purchase.
