What to check on a used Audi Q5
-
Title brands
A salvage, rebuilt or flood brand on the title changes what the car is worth and whether it can be insured or financed. Brands can disappear when a car is re-titled in another state, so check the full title history, not just the current title.
Salvage title check -
Odometer readings
Each reported mileage should be higher than the one before it. A drop, or a long gap followed by a low reading, is a reason to ask for service records.
Odometer rollback check -
Accidents and damage
Reported accidents, airbag deployments and structural damage matter more than cosmetic repairs. Not every accident is reported, so a pre-purchase inspection is still worth it.
Accident history check -
Open safety recalls
Recalls are free to fix at a dealer. Check any Audi Q5 for open recalls with its VIN on NHTSA's official recall lookup.

How complete the report is
The middle half of the Audi Q5 CARFAX reports checked here had 19–41 records. A report with far fewer can simply mean fewer reported events (private service, long storage), but it is worth asking the seller about the gaps.
-
Auction history
Many cars sold at Copart or IAAI are insurance write-offs or damaged vehicles, and the auction listing often has photos of the damage before repair.
