2013 AUDI Q7 Premium Plus

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title, with “SIDE” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the side-damage classification because substantial damage is present on the left rear door and adjacent side area. The salvage-title status itself cannot be confirmed from the available photographs. The most significant visible damage is concentrated on the left rear door. The door skin has a large, irregular dent with multiple pronounced creases extending across it. The lower edge shows disturbed trim and exposed dark gaps. The left rear door window glass is not visible, leaving the interior exposed through the window opening. A section of the lower door trim also appears to be missing or displaced, with a light-colored mounting area visible. Additional cosmetic damage includes light scuffing and scratches on the left front portion of the hood, cloudy or hazy lenses on both headlights, and multiple light scratches across the rear bumper cover. The available findings do not establish the condition of the vehicle’s mechanical, structural, electrical, interior, or safety systems. A physical inspection is recommended, particularly around the damaged door, window opening, adjacent body structure, and any areas that may have been exposed to the elements. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2013 Audi Q7 SUV, Premium Plus trim, built by Audi AG in Slovakia. The supplied decode lists a turbocharged 2.995-litre six-cylinder 3.0T TDI engine and identifies the primary fuel type as gasoline; these details should be verified against the vehicle and its documentation. NHTSA recall records list three campaigns for this model year. Recall 17V298000 concerns a fuel-pump flange that may crack and allow a fuel leak. Recall 14V516000 applies to certain 2013 Q7 vehicles with the 3.0L TDI engine and concerns possible engine-oil leakage into the brake-booster system, which may reduce power-braking assistance. Recall 23V086000 concerns an incorrect rear gross axle weight rating on the certification label. Recall completion should be checked with Audi using the vehicle identification number before purchase.
