2015 AUDI Q7 3.0T PREMIUM

The 2015 Audi Q7 is listed with a Salvage title and an auction-designated primary damage category of Front End. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the Front End damage claim; however, the Salvage title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The front end has severe collision damage. The left side of the front bumper cover is detached, cracked, torn, scraped, and partially separated, with broken lower lighting and trim sections. A large portion of the upper front fascia is missing, exposing components behind the grille. The grille assembly is displaced and protrudes from the front opening, with irregular gaps around its edges. A heat exchanger visible behind the damaged bumper has bent fins and irregular outer edges. The full condition of components behind the front-end damage should be assessed through a physical inspection. The lower door and rocker areas have extensive scraping, chipped paint, white material transfer, and a deformed section near the lower door seam. Additional light scuffing and paint chips are present along the lower side trim. Multiple detached and broken plastic trim pieces are stored loose in the cargo area. The instrument cluster displays a warning for the front-right turn signal. The cause and required repairs should be diagnosed. NHTSA VIN data identifies the vehicle as a 2015 Audi Q7 sport utility vehicle manufactured by Audi AG in Slovakia. The decoded information lists a 2.967-liter, six-cylinder turbocharged 3.0T TDI engine, while the fuel type field lists gasoline; this specification discrepancy should be verified against the vehicle and its documentation. The trim is listed as Premium Plus. Two NHTSA recalls are associated with this make, model, and year. Recall 17V298000 concerns a fuel-pump flange that may crack and leak fuel, increasing the risk of fire; the remedy involves inspection and either protective-film application or flange replacement. Recall 23V086000 concerns an incorrect rear gross axle weight rating on the certification label, with a corrected overlay label provided free of charge. Recall completion should be confirmed by VIN with an Audi dealer.
