2023 AUDI SQ5

The auction record lists the vehicle’s condition as “Clear” and identifies “Left Rear” as the primary damage area. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment states that the visible evidence contradicts the “Clear” condition designation because substantial collision damage is present. It also finds that the “Left Rear” damage classification is supported by the visible rear-quarter, bumper, tail-lamp, and hatch damage. The main damage is concentrated at the left rear. The quarter panel around the tail lamp, wheel arch, and bumper junction is severely crushed and creased, with paint transfer and white abrasion marks. The left rear bumper corner is severely deformed and displaced, with deep creases, surface abrasion, an open outer-edge separation, and exposed components below the lamp. The bumper cover has multiple tears or cracks, and the lower reflector/lighting area has broken or missing cover material with internal components visible through the opening. The left rear tail lamp assembly is separated from the surrounding body panel, with uneven gaps and adjacent sheet-metal deformation. The condition of the lamp lens cannot be fully determined from the available image. The left side of the rear hatch and the upper rear body panel also show moderate buckling and creasing above and beside the tail lamp. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2023 Audi SQ5 quattro Prestige SUV with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. Factory-listed safety equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, electronic stability and traction control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear automatic emergency braking, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, and a rear visibility system. The visible damage warrants a thorough inspection of the rear body structure, hatch alignment, tail-lamp mounting points, bumper reinforcement and impact-absorption components, wiring, parking and safety sensors, exhaust area, and the operation of the hatch and all affected lighting systems. The condition of components behind the damaged exterior cannot be established from the provided findings alone.
