2024 AUDI Q5

The auction record lists the vehicle as salvage, with “Left Front” identified as the primary damage area. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated left-front claim because the left-front lower bumper trim or insert is missing. Stage 1 also notes that the salvage status cannot be independently confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The documented exterior damage is concentrated at the left-front lower bumper corner, where the trim or insert is absent and an internal component is visible through the resulting opening. Light-colored surface scuffing is also visible on the right-rear lower bumper corner near the rear wheel opening. The instrument cluster displays multiple warning indicators, including the engine, ABS, general warning, and airbag symbols. The vehicle message states that the lane-change warning and exit-warning functions are unavailable. These warnings require diagnostic scanning and a thorough inspection before purchase; the findings do not establish the underlying causes. The VIN decodes as a 2024 Audi Q5 S line quattro Premium 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 supplied NHTSA recall records include campaigns concerning a 220V/240V portable charging cable, the front-passenger occupant detection system and airbag, a potential high-voltage battery overheating condition, and cylinder-head-cover screws that may loosen and allow an oil leak. Because the VIN decodes as a gasoline vehicle rather than a plug-in hybrid, the charging-related and high-voltage battery recalls should be specifically checked for applicability. The buyer should also confirm the VIN-specific recall status and verify that any applicable repairs have been completed through an Audi dealer or NHTSA records.
