2013 AUDI Q7 Premium Plus

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a “CERT OF TITLE–PRIOR SALVAGE” designation with “FRONT END” as the primary damage. However, the photo-review assessment states that visible photos do not show clear front-end collision damage; the primary-damage claim is not supported by the visible evidence, and the prior-salvage status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The visible damage is limited to minor cosmetic issues. Several light white scuff marks are present on the black front license-plate mounting panel and adjacent front bumper. The center section of the rear bumper has several light vertical scratches and scuff marks. The visible headlight lenses appear lightly cloudy or hazy. Inside, the leather front-seat cushions and driver-seat bolster show creasing, surface wrinkling, and mild discoloration. NHTSA VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2013 Audi Q7 SUV, Premium Plus trim, with a turbocharged 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine listed as the 3.0T TDI, built by Audi AG in Slovakia. The decoded data lists gasoline as the primary fuel type; the engine and fuel specifications should be verified against the vehicle and its documentation before purchase. Three NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model and year. Recall 17V298000 concerns a potentially cracking fuel-pump flange that may cause a fuel leak and fire risk. Recall 14V516000 concerns certain 3.0L TDI vehicles manufactured from June 5 through November 29, 2012, where engine-oil contamination may affect the brake booster and reduce power-braking assistance. Recall 23V086000 concerns an incorrect rear gross axle weight rating on the certification label. The vehicle’s VIN-specific recall completion status should be confirmed with Audi or an authorized dealer.
