2023 AUDI Q5

The auction record lists this 2023 Audi Q5 as having a salvage certificate and “FRONT END” primary damage. The visible extensive front-end collision damage supports the stated FRONT END damage code; however, the salvage-certificate status itself cannot be confirmed from photographs. The hood is severely creased and deformed across the front and center sections, and its leading edge is lifted above the grille. Both front headlamp assemblies are missing, leaving open cavities with internal components and wiring exposed. The front bumper has broken or missing sections at both corners, with adjacent components exposed. The passenger-side front fender is displaced around the headlamp and bumper junction, while the driver-side fender is creased and deformed above and forward of the wheel arch. Broken and displaced plastic components are also visible along the driver-side front edge of the engine compartment. The driver steering-wheel airbag is deployed, with inflated fabric hanging from the steering wheel. The vehicle should therefore undergo a complete collision-repair assessment, including inspection of the restraint-system components, wiring, front-end structure, cooling and mechanical components, lighting systems, driver-assistance systems, and wheel alignment. The provided findings do not establish the condition of components not visibly described. According to the VIN decode, this is an Audi Q5 SUV with the S line quattro Premium Plus trim, all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline 45 TFSI engine, and an automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. NHTSA recall records include a front-passenger occupant-classification-system recall for certain 2023–2024 Audi Q5 vehicles; a fault in the system may deactivate the front-passenger airbag. The records also include a cylinder-head-cover screw recall for certain 2022–2024 Q5 Quattro vehicles, which may allow an oil leak and increase fire risk. The listed charging-cable and high-voltage-battery recalls concern specified charging systems or Q5 plug-in-hybrid vehicles and may not apply to this gasoline-powered vehicle. Recall applicability, completion status, and any outstanding remedies should be verified directly by VIN with Audi or an authorized dealer before purchase.
