2015 AUDI Q7 Premium Plus

The auction record lists this 2015 Audi Q7 as having a salvage title certificate with “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1’s assessment is that the visible missing and damaged front-end components support the FRONT END damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The front bumper cover, center grille, surrounding fascia trim, and lower air-dam components are missing. Both front bumper corners also have broken or missing plastic fascia and mounting components near the headlights. With the fascia removed, the radiator, condenser, horns, bumper reinforcement, and other internal front-end components are exposed. The provided findings do not establish whether these components, the underlying structure, or related mechanical and electrical systems are damaged. The rear leather seat cushions show wrinkling, creasing, and surface wear without a clearly visible tear. Similar creasing and wear are present on the driver’s seat cushion and outer side bolster, also without a clearly visible tear. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2015 Audi Q7 Premium Plus SUV built by Audi AG in Slovakia. The decode lists a turbocharged 2.967-liter six-cylinder engine identified as “3.0T TDI,” while its fuel-type field separately lists gasoline; this specification should be verified against the vehicle and its documentation. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this vehicle: recall 17V298000 concerns a fuel-pump flange that may crack and allow a fuel leak, and recall 23V086000 concerns an incorrect gross axle weight rating on the certification label. Recall 17V298000 involved inspection and either protective-film application or replacement of the flange, while recall 23V086000 involves installation of a corrected label. Completion of both recall remedies should be confirmed with Audi or an authorized dealer.
