2024 AUDI Q5

The vehicle is a 2024 Audi Q5 with a salvage certificate of title. The auction lists the primary damage as “SIDE,” an unverified classification. Stage 1 reports that visible dents, scuffs, and missing wheel-arch trim on the side areas support the unverified SIDE damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. Observed damage is concentrated on the visible rear side of the vehicle. The rear door has a broad, shallow depression with multiple horizontal and irregular scuff marks. Additional dents, creases, and light-colored paint-transfer marks are present across the adjacent rear quarter area. Sections of the body-colored rear wheel-arch molding are missing, leaving mounting points or openings visible. The lower rear bumper cover and bumper corner also have abrasion and paint-transfer marks. Several short surface scratches are visible on the left side of the hood. The VIN decodes as a 2024 Audi Q5 S line quattro Premium Plus SUV with all-wheel drive, a gasoline 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine rated at 261 hp, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. NHTSA records list several recalls involving certain 2024 Audi Q5 vehicles, including campaigns 23V842000, 24V251000, 25V080000, and 25V294000. These concern the compact charging cable, front passenger occupant-detection system, high-voltage battery overheating on applicable vehicles, and cylinder-head-cover fasteners, respectively. Applicability and completion status should be verified by VIN with an Audi dealer, particularly because the decoded vehicle is identified as a gasoline 45 TFSI model rather than a plug-in hybrid. A physical inspection is recommended to assess possible concealed damage behind the affected body panels, wheel-arch area, and bumper, and to verify alignment, sensors, trim attachment, and mechanical operation.
