2022 AUDI Q5

The auction lists this 2022 Audi Q5 as Salvage with Front End as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated Front End claim through the missing and detached front-end components; however, the Salvage title or condition cannot be confirmed from photos alone. The front bumper cover, right front headlamp, and right front fender are missing from the vehicle and are shown separately on the ground. Lower bumper and fascia components are detached and hanging below the front end. With these parts removed, the front reinforcement, cooling components, brackets, hoses, wiring, and other internal mounting areas are exposed. The visible front reinforcement is dented and has an uneven contour. The extent of damage to hidden structural, cooling, electrical, suspension, and driver-assistance components cannot be determined from these findings. The VIN decodes as a 2022 Audi Q5 S line quattro Premium Plus SUV with all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. Several NHTSA recalls are listed for the 2022 Audi Q5. Recall 25V294 concerns possible improperly tightened cylinder-head-cover screws on certain Q5 Quattro vehicles, which may allow an oil leak and increase fire risk; the remedy involves inspection and replacement as necessary. Recalls 24V898 and 25V080 concern overheating high-voltage batteries in certain Q5 plug-in hybrid vehicles, while recall 23V842 concerns a compact 220V/240V charging cable on specified vehicles. The decoded vehicle is identified as a gasoline 45 TFSI model rather than a plug-in hybrid, so recall applicability and completion should be verified by VIN with Audi. A recall-status check and a complete pre-purchase inspection are recommended before purchase, including assessment of the front reinforcement, cooling system, wiring, headlamp and safety-system operation, wheel-well components, alignment, and any hidden structural damage.
