2013 AUDI Q7 Premium Plus

The auction record lists the vehicle’s condition as “Certificate of Title” and identifies the primary damage as “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the SIDE classification: pronounced denting, deformation, and scuffing are visible on the rear side door and adjacent quarter-panel area. The certificate-of-title condition cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The main damage is concentrated on one side of the vehicle. The rear door outer panel has a pronounced dent with multiple creases extending from the handle area toward the lower edge. The adjacent rear quarter panel, including the area around and forward of the rear wheel arch, is visibly deformed and uneven. Several light-colored scuffs and scratches are also present on the lower rear door and rocker-panel area. The extent of any damage beneath the outer panels, to the door structure, wheel-arch components, suspension, or alignment is not established by these findings and should be checked during a physical inspection. Additional cosmetic concerns include a lightly cloudy front left headlamp lens. The driver’s seat leather has pronounced creasing, wrinkling, and surface wear on the cushion and side bolster. The steering-wheel rim shows surface wear and discoloration, particularly on the upper and side grip areas, while the rear leather seats have visible wrinkling and creasing. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2013 Audi Q7 Premium Plus SUV manufactured by Audi AG in Slovakia. The supplied factory data identifies a turbocharged 3.0T TDI six-cylinder engine with a 2.995-litre displacement; however, the same NHTSA decode lists the primary fuel type as gasoline. This inconsistency should be verified against the vehicle and its documentation before purchase. Drive type and transmission details are not provided. Three NHTSA safety recalls are listed for the 2013 Audi Q7. Recall 17V298000 concerns a fuel-pump flange that may crack and allow a fuel leak, creating a fire risk; the remedy involves inspection and either replacement or application of protective film. Recall 14V516000 applies to certain 2013 Q7 vehicles with a 3.0L TDI engine and concerns possible engine-oil leakage into the brake booster, which could reduce braking assistance; the remedy involves replacing a vacuum line and inspecting the brake-booster system. Recall 23V086000 concerns an incorrect rear gross axle weight rating on the certification label, with a corrected overlay label provided as the remedy. Recall completion should be confirmed with Audi or an authorised dealer using the VIN.
