2022 AUDI Q5

The auction record identifies this 2022 Audi Q5 as having a salvage title and lists FRONT END as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end disassembly and missing components support the stated front-end damage claim; however, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The front bumper cover, surrounding fascia, grille, and one headlamp assembly are missing. The exposed area includes the bumper reinforcement, cooling modules, wiring, internal supports, and mounting points. Multiple lower front plastic panels and covers are broken or absent, with loose or hanging pieces visible below the reinforcement. Both front fender panels are missing, exposing the wheel-arch structures and attachment points. Additional damage includes a missing exterior handle on one rear door and several light linear scratches on the visible-side front and rear door panels. The instrument cluster displays the warning: “Vehicle starting system: malfunction! Please contact Service.” This indicates that the starting system requires diagnostic testing before the vehicle can be considered operational. The extent of any damage to structural, cooling, electrical, lighting, driver-assistance, suspension, or other components cannot be determined from the supplied findings and should be checked during a complete physical inspection. Factory data identifies the vehicle as a 2022 Audi Q5 S line quattro Premium Plus SUV with all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder gasoline 45 TFSI engine, and an automatic transmission. The VIN decodes as WA1EAAFY2N2108535, with assembly in Mexico. NHTSA records provided for the 2022 Audi Q5 include recalls involving a compact charging cable, a high-voltage traction battery on certain Q5 plug-in hybrid vehicles, and possible engine cylinder-head-cover screw loosening that could allow an oil leak. The vehicle decodes as a gasoline 45 TFSI model rather than a plug-in hybrid, so the charging-cable and high-voltage-battery recall applicability should be verified by VIN. Recall completion status and applicability of the engine recall should also be confirmed with Audi before purchase.
