2022 AUDI S5 quattro Premium

The vehicle is listed by the auction with a salvage title and “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification, with extensive damage and missing or detached components concentrated at the front bumper and fascia. The front bumper cover is severely torn and partially detached, with multiple sections missing or separated. A large detached bumper assembly is visible on the ground in front of the vehicle. Both visible bumper corners show extensive breakage, including a large missing section at the right front corner. Internal components, wiring, and ducting are exposed, while lower fascia and corner trim are absent or broken. Detached trim and broken bumper material are also present near the ground. The front left fender is moderately deformed near the bumper and wheel opening, with an irregular gap next to the headlamp. The front edge of the hood is uneven, with an enlarged and irregular gap above the grille and front lighting area. The upper bumper and grille perimeter are separated, with uneven gaps and broken or missing trim around the grille and headlamp areas. An amber airbag warning indicator is illuminated in the instrument cluster. The available finding does not establish the cause of the warning or the condition of the restraint system, so the airbag system should be professionally diagnosed before the vehicle is operated.
