2017 AUDI Q7 quattro Premium Plus

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate with more than 75% damage and identifies the primary damage as “SIDE.” However, the Stage 1 photo assessment states that the visible evidence does not support either claim: the exterior appears largely intact, with no clearly visible severe side deformation or damage consistent with those designations. These remain unverified auction claims and should be investigated further through a physical inspection and documentation review. The visible damage findings are limited to minor cosmetic wear on the interior leather. The brown leather on the front driver’s seat lower cushion and outer bolster shows wrinkling, creasing, and surface wear, but no clearly visible tear or missing material. Similar creasing and surface discoloration are present on the front seat cushions, again without a clearly visible through-tear or missing material. A light-colored worn or scuffed area is visible along the front edge of the brown leather rear seat lower cushion. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2017 Audi Q7 quattro Premium Plus SUV with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle is identified as a seven-seat model manufactured in Slovakia. NHTSA records list several recalls applicable to certain 2017 Audi Q7 vehicles, including fuel-rail leaks (19V035000), third-row seat-back movement (16V641000), seat-belt pretensioner operation (16V955000), electric power steering assist (16V648000), side-marker-light software (16V642000), frontal air-bag control-module software (16V519000), and a steering-shaft bolt issue (20V149000). Recall applicability can depend on the vehicle’s production date and configuration, so completion should be confirmed by VIN with Audi or an authorized dealer before purchase.
