2014 AUDI A7 quattro Prestige

The auction record lists this 2014 Audi A7 as having a salvage certificate, with FRONT END identified as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end collision damage supports the stated FRONT END code; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The front end has extensive collision damage. The hood’s front edge is raised and uneven, with a pronounced gap above the grille and lighting areas. The front bumper cover is severely torn and partially detached, with missing or hanging sections, exposed components, and damaged mounting areas. The left front headlamp assembly is absent or severely broken. The left front fender and adjacent trim near the headlamp are visibly crumpled and deformed. The upper radiator-support area and nearby plastic components are bent, broken, and uneven, with additional front-end components exposed. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag is visibly deployed. Repairs may therefore require replacement of the airbag system and inspection of related restraint-system components, in addition to substantial front-end body and structural repairs. The provided findings do not confirm the condition of the engine, transmission, cooling system, suspension, steering, or electrical systems. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2014 Audi A7 quattro Prestige sedan/saloon built by Audi AG in Germany. It is identified with a 2.995-liter, six-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 310 horsepower, all-wheel drive, and an automatic transmission. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model year. Recall 18V370000 concerns the passenger-seat occupant-detection system, which may cause the front passenger airbag to deploy improperly; the stated remedy is a free PODS system repair kit. Recall 17V781000 concerns a fuel line that may weaken and leak, creating a fire risk; the stated remedy is free fuel-line replacement. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Audi or an authorized dealer.
