2017 AUDI Q7 quattro Premium Plus

The vehicle is listed with a **salvage certificate** and an auction primary-damage classification of **FRONT END**. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end damage supports the stated FRONT END classification; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front end has extensive collision damage. The hood is severely creased and deformed, sits raised, and has a large uneven gap above the front fascia. The front bumper cover is torn, displaced, and partially missing, exposing internal components at the front corners and lower opening. The center grille and front-right headlamp assembly are missing, with wiring, mounting areas, the radiator, and other internal components exposed. The front edge of the right fender is torn and irregular around the headlamp and bumper junction. An exposed lower front reinforcement is visibly bowed and deformed. The extent of damage to components behind the visible front structure should be determined through a physical inspection. The driver airbag has deployed from the steering wheel, and curtain airbags are hanging from the roof-side areas along the passenger compartment. The airbag system, seat-belt pretensioners, related sensors, control modules, wiring, and interior trim will require inspection and likely replacement or repair as applicable. Roadworthiness and proper operation should not be assumed.
