2007 AUDI A4 quattro

The auction record identifies this 2007 Audi A4 as having a “MV-907A Salvage Certificate” and lists the primary damage as “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated front-end claim, with severe damage to the front bumper, grille area, and hood front edge. Stage 1 also states that the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The front end has severe collision damage. The bumper cover is displaced and separated from the bodywork, with a large section missing and internal components exposed. One front corner and the adjacent lamp surround are also broken or missing. The center grille is out of position, with uneven gaps and separation from surrounding trim. The front edge of the hood is deformed, with an uneven raised profile and irregular gaps above the grille and headlamp areas. Several areas of paint are chipped or missing across the hood. The left rear corner has additional severe collision damage. The rear bumper cover is heavily crushed, torn, and displaced, with large sections missing or separated and jagged broken edges. The adjacent quarter panel is visibly creased and deformed. Below and beside the left rear lamp, body and bumper material is broken, leaving an open cavity with internal components exposed. Inside the vehicle, the outer side covering of the front seatback is missing, exposing the seat frame and internal components. The available findings do not establish the condition of the mechanical systems, suspension, steering, structural components, airbags, or other electrical systems. A comprehensive physical inspection and diagnostic assessment will be required before repair or road use. Factory VIN data identifies the vehicle as a German-built 2007 Audi A4 sedan with quattro all-wheel drive, a 1.984-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an indicated output of 200 horsepower.
