2016 AUDI A7 quattro Premium Plus

This 2016 Audi A7 is listed with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and REAR END as the auction’s primary-damage classification. The rear-end claim is supported by the visible assessment, which identifies extensive deformation and missing components at both rear corners. The salvage-certificate status itself cannot be confirmed from photographs. The rear bumper cover is missing or detached and broken, with separated lower grille and trim sections. The bumper reinforcement, mounting areas, and internal rear components are exposed. Both the left and right rear quarter panels and rear corners show severe inward crushing and sharp creasing around the tail-lamp openings, trunk corners, and bumper mounting areas. The outer left and right tail-lamp assemblies are absent or broken, leaving their cavities and surrounding mounting components exposed. The inner lamp sections on the trunk lid remain visible. The extent of the rear-corner deformation indicates that substantial body, mounting, and possibly underlying structural repairs may be required. The provided findings do not establish the condition of the suspension, exhaust, drivetrain, electrical systems, safety systems, or hidden structural components. A comprehensive physical inspection and diagnostic evaluation are recommended before purchase, including checks of the rear body structure, bumper reinforcement, lamp wiring, trunk alignment, airbag system, and wheel alignment. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2016 Audi A7 sedan with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany and is identified as the quattro Premium Plus trim. Three NHTSA recalls are listed for this model and year: a fuel-rail recall involving possible fuel leakage and fire risk; an occupant-classification-system recall that may affect front-passenger airbag deployment; and a head-curtain-airbag recall concerning deployment performance. The completion status of these recalls for this specific vehicle should be verified with Audi using the VIN before purchase.
