2023 AUDI Q5

The auction lists this 2023 Audi Q5 as having a **SALVAGE CERTIFICATE OF TITLE** with **FRONT END** as the primary damage classification. The visible front-corner damage supports the auction’s unverified FRONT END code. The salvage-title designation itself cannot be confirmed or contradicted from the photographs. The near-side front corner has severe collision damage. The fender is heavily crushed and creased around the wheel arch, with deformation extending toward the headlamp and bumper. The hood is moderately creased and deformed at the adjacent corner. The headlamp assembly is severely broken, with the outer lens and portions of the assembly missing or fragmented. The bumper cover has a large torn opening with missing sections and exposed internal brackets or components. Lower bumper trim, the adjacent insert, and the wheel-arch molding are also missing. Dark linear scraping and transfer marks are visible across the damaged bumper and fender surfaces. The supplied VIN decode identifies the vehicle as a 2023 Audi Q5 S line quattro Premium Plus SUV with all-wheel drive, a gasoline 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder 45 TFSI engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. The photographs do not establish the condition of the suspension, steering, wheel, tire, cooling system, frame or unibody structure, airbags, sensors, wiring, engine, transmission, or other components behind the visible damage. A comprehensive physical inspection and diagnostic scan are recommended before purchase. NHTSA recall records associated with the 2023 Audi Q5 include recall 23V842 regarding overheating of certain 220V/240V compact charging cables, recall 24V251 concerning the front passenger occupant-detection system and possible airbag deactivation, and recall 25V294 concerning cylinder-head-cover screws that may loosen and allow an oil leak. Records also include recalls 24V898 and 25V080 concerning high-voltage battery overheating on Q5 plug-in hybrid vehicles; the VIN decode identifies this vehicle as gasoline-powered rather than a plug-in hybrid, but applicability and completion status should be verified directly with Audi using the VIN. Recall repairs, if applicable, should be confirmed before operation.
