2017 AUDI A7 3.0T PREMIUM PLUS

The auction record lists the vehicle as salvage with “Right Rear” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated right-rear damage location; however, salvage status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The right rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area have severe collision damage, including extensive crushing, deep creasing, torn and scraped paint, distorted metal, and exposed internal components. Damage extends from the rear taillight area to the wheel opening. The rear bumper cover and right outer taillight assembly are missing. The right rear bumper corner and lower rear structure also have missing or broken components, detached wiring, and a hanging lower panel. The extent of the deformation indicates that structural and suspension-related components in the affected area should be carefully inspected. White side-curtain airbag fabric is visible hanging along the right-side roof rail and both the front and rear door openings. The instrument cluster displays an AIR BAG warning and a red occupant-restraint symbol. Airbag modules, sensors, wiring, seat-belt pretensioners, and the supplemental restraint system will require diagnostic testing and likely replacement as applicable. The vehicle should not be considered roadworthy until the restraint system and collision-related damage have been professionally repaired and verified.
