2016 AUDI A7 quattro Premium Plus

The auction record lists the vehicle as “CERT OF SALVAGE > 75% DAMAGE” with “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. The Stage 1 assessment supports the front-end classification: the front bumper cover, corner trim, and lower fascia are visibly broken or missing, with internal components exposed. However, Stage 1 states that the visible evidence does not confirm damage exceeding 75% of the vehicle’s total value. The most significant damage is concentrated at the front bumper. The image-left corner has a broken and detached bumper cover with an irregular fracture and exposed components behind it. Lower bumper and corner-trim sections are missing, leaving openings and internal parts visible. Wiring and mounting components are loose and hanging below this area. The image-right front bumper corner also has missing exterior material, broken trim edges, exposed components, and visible wiring. The lower front bumper trim is detached, with an additional loose section and a hanging cable. The rear bumper and the panel around the license-plate recess show light surface scuffs and scratches. The front leather seat cushions have visible creasing, wrinkling, and surface discoloration consistent with use; no clear through-tear is reported. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2016 Audi A7 quattro Premium Plus sedan manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. It is equipped with a 3.0-liter gasoline V6, rated at 333 hp, an automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. NHTSA records list three recalls for this model and year. Recall 19V035000 concerns potentially leaking fuel rails, which could increase the risk of fire; the stated remedy is replacement of the left and right fuel rails. Recall 18V370000 concerns the passenger occupant-detection system and possible improper deployment of the front passenger airbag; the stated remedy is installation of a PODS repair kit. Recall 17V293000 concerns head-curtain airbag deployment and lists replacement of the affected airbags as the remedy. The completion status of these recalls should be verified with Audi or an authorized dealer using the VIN. Because the front bumper area has exposed wiring and components, a thorough physical inspection is recommended before purchase, including checks of the underlying front-end structure, cooling and lighting systems, sensors, wiring, airbag systems, and vehicle operation.
