2024 AUDI Q5

The auction record lists this 2024 Audi Q5 as salvage with “Front End” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end collision damage supports the auction’s unverified “Front End” claim; however, the salvage condition itself cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The vehicle has severe damage across the front bumper, fascia, grille, and both front corners. The bumper cover is cracked, torn, and missing sections, with separated lower edges and internal components exposed. The grille is displaced and damaged on the front-right side. Both lower corner openings have missing trim and exposed components. The front-right wheel-arch trim is absent, and the adjacent bumper and fender edges are damaged. The front-left corner also has missing trim, open bumper sections, and visible mounting points. Extensive dark scuffing is present on the front-right bumper area. The hood-to-front-fascia gap is wide and uneven, with the front edge of the hood sitting above the headlamp and grille areas, indicating deformation or misalignment in the front-end structure or mounting areas. The driver steering-wheel airbag and front passenger dashboard airbag are visibly deployed. The instrument cluster displays an Audi active lane assist malfunction message, along with illuminated airbag and steering-wheel warning indicators. The vehicle should not be considered road-ready until the collision damage, restraint system, steering system, sensors, wiring, and driver-assistance systems have been fully inspected and repaired. The VIN decodes as a 2024 Audi Q5 S line quattro Premium Sport Utility Vehicle with all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The decoded vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. The supplied recall information lists four NHTSA campaigns associated with 2024 Audi Q5 vehicles: campaign 23V842000 concerning overheating of certain 220V/240V portable charging equipment; campaign 24V251000 concerning the front passenger occupant-classification system and possible airbag deactivation; campaign 25V080000 concerning possible high-voltage battery overheating; and campaign 25V294000 concerning improperly tightened cylinder-head-cover screws that may allow an oil leak. Applicability and completion status should be verified by VIN with Audi, particularly for recalls whose scope may depend on the vehicle’s equipment or powertrain.
