2019 AUDI Q7 55 PREMIUM

The 2019 Audi Q7 is listed by the auction with a Salvage condition and “Left Rear” as the primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the Left Rear classification through the deformed left rear quarter panel, displaced wheel-arch trim, and separated left rear bumper corner. However, Stage 1 notes that the Salvage status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The main visible damage is concentrated at the left rear quarter panel and wheel opening. The quarter panel has a large inward deformation with pronounced dents and multiple creases above and forward of the wheel arch, including additional deformation near the lower edge. The left rear wheel-arch molding is partly missing and the remaining section is displaced from the body, leaving exposed mounting points, gaps, and scuffing. The left rear bumper cover has an open, uneven seam where it meets the quarter panel, with the upper edge visibly separated from the adjacent bodywork. Scratches and scuff marks are present on the left rear corner and lower bumper. The outer rim of the left rear alloy wheel also shows abrasion and scraped finish along several edges. According to the VIN decode, this is an all-wheel-drive Q7 SUV with a 3.0-liter gasoline six-cylinder engine, automatic transmission, and seven-seat configuration. The vehicle is identified as an Audi Q7 quattro Prestige built in Bratislava, Slovakia. The decoded equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, parking assistance, and a rear visibility system. NHTSA records list four recalls applicable to the 2019 Audi Q7: front shock absorber forks that may crack and allow the shock absorbers to loosen; C-pillar padding that may not provide sufficient impact absorption; a steering-shaft bolt that may loosen and potentially cause loss of steering control; and side-curtain airbags that may not properly inflate in a crash. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Audi before purchase. A physical inspection is recommended to assess the extent of the quarter-panel, bumper, wheel-arch, wheel, and any related mounting or structural damage, as well as to confirm the condition and operation of safety systems.
