2023 AUDI Q5

The auction record identifies this 2023 Audi Q5 as “Salvage” and lists “Left Front” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible damage is concentrated at the left-front corner and supports the stated left-front primary-damage code; however, the salvage designation cannot be confirmed from exterior photos alone. The documented damage includes a torn and partially detached lower-left front bumper cover, with a section hanging below the bumper opening. A portion of the left lower bumper insert or trim is missing, leaving an open cavity. Wiring and other internal components are visible in the left-front bumper and wheel-opening area, and the lower bumper edge is detached from the surrounding assembly. The full condition of the components behind the bumper, including wiring, sensors, mounting points, and any related mechanical or safety systems, should be checked through a physical inspection. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2023 Audi Q5 S line quattro Premium Plus SUV with all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine (45 TFSI), and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. Several NHTSA recalls are listed for 2023 Audi Q5 vehicles. These include a front-passenger occupant-detection system recall, which may affect passenger-airbag deployment, and a cylinder-head-cover screw recall that may allow an oil leak and increase fire risk. The record also includes high-voltage battery recalls for Q5 plug-in hybrid vehicles; the VIN decode identifies this vehicle as gasoline-powered rather than a plug-in hybrid, so applicability of those recalls should be confirmed by an Audi dealer. A charging-cable recall is also listed for certain Q5 vehicles. Recall applicability and completion status should be verified using the full VIN before purchase.
