2016 AUDI A7 3.0T PREMIUM PLUS

The 2016 Audi A7 is listed with a salvage condition and an auction primary-damage claim of “Front & Rear.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence strongly supports front collision damage, but no clear rear collision damage is visible; the rear bumper, rear lamps, and rear body panels appear intact in the available rear views. The “Front & Rear” claim is therefore only partially supported by the reported visual evidence. The front end has severe damage. The bumper cover, grille, headlights, and other front lighting assemblies are missing, leaving the radiator area, heat exchangers, wiring, and internal components exposed. The bumper reinforcement and adjacent lower front support components are visibly bent and deformed. Some front-end components are detached or hanging, while a heat exchanger and other parts are reported lying below the front-right side. The hood has extensive severe deformation, including deep dents, sharp creases, a raised and irregular front edge, large openings at the front corners, and a torn opening near the left-front section. The front-right hood, fender, and fascia area are also heavily damaged. The windshield has multiple branching cracks and impact marks, primarily on the left side. The left rear door has severe outer-panel deformation with deep dents and sharp creases around the handle and lower section. Its side window is shattered, with broken glass displaced outward from the opening. The adjacent left rear quarter panel has moderate creasing and deformation around the door shut line and wheel-arch area. Driver, front passenger, and roof-side airbag cushions are visibly deployed. The vehicle should therefore be expected to require extensive body, structural, cooling-system, electrical, glass, airbag, and restraint-system inspection and repair. The reported condition does not establish the mechanical or running condition of the engine, transmission, drivetrain, suspension, or other components. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a Germany-built 2016 Audi A7 sedan with quattro all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and Premium Plus trim. Three NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model and year: a fuel-rail leak recall with a potential fire risk; a passenger-occupant detection system recall that may affect front passenger airbag deployment; and a head-curtain airbag recall concerning deployment performance. Recall completion should be verified with Audi using the VIN, particularly given the deployed airbags and the extent of the collision damage.
