2019 AUDI A7 quattro Prestige

The 2019 Audi A7 is listed by the auction as “SALVAGE CERT-FLOOD,” with “WATER/FLOOD” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that this claim is visually supported, but not proven, by extensive interior dirt or silt-like staining and plant-like debris on the front and rear seats and floor areas. No clear horizontal exterior tide line or visible corrosion was identified in the available photos. The most significant documented condition is extensive interior soiling. The front seat cushions, surrounding trim, center-console area, and both front footwells show brown discoloration, dirt, staining, and plant-like debris. Similar dark and brown staining, dirt, and plant-like debris are present across the rear seat cushions. These conditions may require substantial cleaning, detailing, and inspection for moisture-related damage beneath the carpeting, seats, and interior trim. At the front of the vehicle, several grille insert sections are missing from the front grille and lower central bumper. Open areas expose internal black components behind the grille surround. Multiple light-colored linear scuff marks or residue lines are also visible along the roof edge above the side windows. According to the VIN decode, this is an Audi A7 quattro Prestige hatchback/liftback 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. NHTSA records list the following recalls for this model and year: campaign 21V159000 concerning the passenger airbag score line; 22V155000 concerning an inaccurate fuel-level reading; 22V861000 concerning liquid entering the rear gateway control module; 23V601000 concerning an incorrectly labeled brake-fluid reservoir cap; 25V900000 concerning rearview-camera software; and 26V125000 concerning lane-departure warning software on vehicles previously repaired under 25V900000.

A thorough physical inspection and electronic diagnostic scan are strongly recommended, with particular attention to possible water intrusion, electrical modules, wiring, airbags, seat systems, carpeting, and underbody areas.
