2017 AUDI Q7 quattro Premium Plus

The 2017 Audi Q7 is listed with a CERTIFICATE OF SALVAGE and FRONT END as the auction’s primary-damage classification. The visible broken and missing components at the front bumper support the stated FRONT END code. However, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The vehicle has severe damage to the left front corner of the front bumper. A large section of the bumper cover is missing, with irregular broken edges, an open cavity, and exposed internal mounting and other components. Exterior trim or lamp-related components are also missing from the lower bumper opening. Broken black plastic pieces and detached chrome trim were visible on the ground, although their original installed locations were not directly shown. The available findings are limited to the bumper area; hidden damage to the bumper reinforcement, sensors, lighting, cooling systems, steering, suspension, or other components has not been established and requires physical inspection. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2017 Audi Q7 quattro Premium Plus SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 252 hp, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Slovakia and is configured with three rows and seating for seven. The decode also lists standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, front and curtain airbags, blind-spot monitoring, and rear visibility equipment, with certain driver-assistance features shown as optional.
