2010 AUDI Q7 Prestige

This 2010 Audi Q7 is listed with a salvage certificate and an auction primary-damage designation of “REAR END.” According to the Stage 1 photo review, clear rear-end collision damage is not shown; only minor scuffing on the lower rear bumper is visible. The “REAR END” claim is therefore not supported by the provided photos. The salvage certificate status cannot be confirmed from photos. The documented visible damage is primarily cosmetic. The front driver’s seat has pronounced creasing and worn leather finish. The front passenger seat has a moderate split and abrasion affecting the outer bolster and lower cushion edge. Light scuffing and discoloration are present on the lower section of the rear bumper. No mechanical or structural findings are provided in the available assessment. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2010 Audi Q7 SUV with a 2.967-liter six-cylinder diesel engine, rated at 225 horsepower in the decoded data, and Prestige trim. It was manufactured by Audi AG in Bratislava, Slovakia. Three NHTSA recalls are listed for this model year. Campaigns 16V660000 and 18V818000 concern the fuel-pump flange and potential fuel leakage on applicable gasoline-engine Q7 vehicles; because this vehicle is decoded as diesel-powered, applicability should be confirmed directly by VIN with Audi. Campaign 23V086000 concerns an incorrect rear gross axle weight rating on the certification label and calls for installation of a corrected label. The completion status of all applicable recalls should be verified with an Audi dealer before purchase.
