2018 AUDI Q5

This 2018 Audi Q5 is listed with a “PERMIT NO BRAND - UNFIT” auction condition and “REAR END” as the primary damage classification. The available findings show visible rear-end damage consistent with the stated primary-damage code. The permit, no-brand, and unfit status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The rear bumper cover assembly is detached and lying on the ground. The lower rear bumper fascia and associated trim are missing, exposing internal rear components, mounting areas, and hanging wiring or connectors. The outer trim around the left rear wheel opening is also absent, with mounting holes and unfinished panel edges visible. In addition, the left rear quarter panel has broad paint abrasion and an irregular depressed area above and forward of the wheel opening. The extent of damage to hidden mounting points, wiring, sensors, structural components, exhaust components, and mechanical systems cannot be determined from these findings. A comprehensive physical inspection is recommended before purchase, along with verification that all required rear-end repairs and safety-system checks have been completed. Official NHTSA recall records list several campaigns applicable to 2018 Audi Q5 vehicles. These include recalls involving brake-caliper performance, the brake master cylinder, seat-belt pretensioners, possible detachment of rear wheel-arch trim, and possible liquid or water intrusion affecting the gateway control module. Recall repairs should be confirmed by VIN with an Audi dealer, particularly because the observed missing left rear wheel-arch trim is a separate visible damage finding and does not establish whether any related recall repair was completed.
