2022 AUDI SQ5

The auction record lists the vehicle as Salvage, with “Right Side” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the Right Side classification, based on extensive crushing at the right rear quarter panel, right rear door, fuel-filler area, and rocker trim. The Salvage title status is administrative and cannot be confirmed or contradicted from the available visual findings. The vehicle has severe front-end damage. The painted front bumper cover and grille assembly are missing, exposing the radiator and intercooler area, mounting points, wiring, and the central front opening. The image-left headlamp assembly is also absent, with its mounting area exposed. Additional bumper-corner and wheel-arch trim is missing on the image-right side, exposing inner plastic components, fasteners, and wiring; a loose cable hangs below the front corner. Detached bumper, grille, lamp-related trim, and other front fascia components are shown separately, with visibly broken and separated sections. The right rear side has extensive severe damage. The quarter panel is crushed and sharply creased around the fuel-filler opening and wheel arch, with deformed, torn, or displaced outer-panel sections. The right rear passenger door has deep creases and displaced surfaces, and the adjacent door gap is irregular. The fuel-filler door is missing, leaving the filler opening and internal components visible. Lower right side-sill trim is displaced and deformed, with part of it separated from the body. The instrument cluster displays the warning, “Right front turn signal faulty: See owner’s manual.” The available findings do not establish the condition of concealed structural, suspension, steering, restraint, cooling, or drivetrain components. A comprehensive physical inspection and post-repair systems scan will be required before determining the full repair scope and roadworthiness. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2022 Audi SQ5 quattro Premium Plus SUV with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and an approximately 349-horsepower rating. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model year. Campaign 21V947000 concerns possible liquid penetration of the gateway control module, which could cause sudden engine-power reduction; the remedy involves installing a protective cover and sealing an underbody seam as necessary. Campaign 22V567000 concerns improperly connected metal sheets in the rear lid on one 2022 Audi SQ5 Sportback vehicle, with rear-lid replacement as the remedy. Recall completion should be verified with an Audi dealer using the VIN.
