2022 AUDI Q5

The vehicle is listed with a Salvage condition and an auction primary-damage classification of “Front & Rear.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this unverified auction claim, with substantial missing and damaged components visible at both ends. The front bumper cover, grille assembly, and both headlamp assemblies are missing, exposing the radiator and other front-end components. The front bumper reinforcement is visibly creased and deformed across the center-right section. Front wheel-opening trim and portions of both wheel-well liners are also missing, with exposed brackets, wiring, mounting points, and unsupported plastic components visible around the front corners. The removed front bumper assembly, grille, headlamps, wheel-arch trim, and other plastic parts are shown separately from the vehicle. A localized paint chip or scrape is present near the front center edge of the hood. At the rear, the bumper cover, lower trim, and lower corner coverings are missing, exposing the rear reinforcement, brackets, impact-absorbing components, mounting structures, and exhaust outlet area. The right rear wheel-arch cladding and adjacent lower bumper-side trim are absent. The lower tailgate panel has visible creasing and deformation below the license-plate area, including a pronounced irregular crease on the left side and damage along the lower edge. The VIN decodes as a 2022 Audi Q5 S line quattro Premium SUV with all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 261 hp, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. The listed safety equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, front and side airbags, curtain airbags, forward-collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive driving beams. Several NHTSA recalls are listed for the 2022 Audi Q5 range. Recall 23V842 concerns overheating of a 220V/240V compact charging cable when used under certain conditions; the remedy involves a replacement cable with a temperature sensor. Recalls 24V898 and 25V080 concern possible overheating of the high-voltage battery in Q5 plug-in hybrid vehicles and may not apply to this gasoline-powered VIN configuration. Recall 25V080 replaced 24V898 and involves an interim, phased remedy. Recall 25V294 concerns potentially loose cylinder-head-cover screws that could allow an oil leak and increase fire risk. Recall applicability and completion status should be confirmed with Audi using the VIN before purchase. The visible findings document extensive exterior component removal and collision-related damage at both the front and rear. The condition of the underlying structure, cooling system, lighting electronics, wiring, airbags, sensors, drivetrain, suspension, and other mechanical components cannot be determined from these findings alone and requires a comprehensive physical inspection and diagnostic assessment.
