2016 AUDI A7 quattro Prestige

This 2016 Audi A7 is listed with an MV-907A salvage certificate and “SIDE” as the auction’s primary-damage classification. The visible side dents, abrasion, rear quarter-panel damage, and missing fuel filler door support the stated SIDE primary-damage claim. However, the MV-907A salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. Visible damage is concentrated along the left side. The left front bumper cover is separated from the adjacent fender and headlamp area, leaving an open gap, and the bumper-to-fender junction has irregular panel edges and exposed dark gaps. Both visible left-side doors show broad light-colored paint transfer and abrasion. The lower left rear door has a pronounced dent and crease with scraped paint along its lower edge. The left rear quarter panel has severe visible denting around the wheel opening, with extensive paint scraping and exposed lighter-colored material. The fuel filler door is missing, leaving the filler opening exposed. The left rear bumper corner has additional light scuffing and surface marks. Inside, a section of trim on the rear-facing side/back of the front passenger seat is missing, exposing light-colored internal structure and components. The front seat leather has creasing, discoloration, and abrasion, while the steering-wheel grip shows surface wear. According to the VIN decode, this is a German-built 2016 Audi A7 quattro Prestige sedan with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder diesel engine, and an automatic transmission. NHTSA records list three recalls for this model and year: fuel-rail leakage that may increase fire risk; a passenger-occupant detection system fault that may affect front passenger airbag deployment; and head-curtain airbags that may not deploy properly. Recall completion should be verified with Audi using the vehicle identification number, especially given the visible damage and the missing passenger-seat trim. A physical inspection is recommended to assess structural alignment, bumper and lighting mounts, the quarter panel and fuel-filler area, door operation, wheel-area components, restraint-system components, and any mechanical or electrical issues not visible in the provided findings.
