2020 AUDI Q7 quattro Premium Plus

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a “SALVAGE CERTIFICATE” title and identifies “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end damage supports the auction’s unverified “FRONT END” damage code; however, the “SALVAGE CERTIFICATE” title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front end is extensively damaged. The hood has a large, deep deformation across its leading section, with multiple sharp creases, a folded edge, and linear abrasions. The front bumper assembly, grille, lower fascia trim, both headlamp assemblies, and multiple surrounding plastic components are missing. Both front corners have exposed inner components and wiring, with loose or hanging plastic material visible below the hood and fender areas. The driver steering-wheel airbag and a driver-side curtain airbag are visibly deployed. The instrument cluster displays the message, “Turn off engine and check coolant level. See owner’s manual,” along with illuminated brake, ABS, airbag, traction-control, and engine warning indicators. These warnings and the exposed front-end components require comprehensive mechanical, electrical, cooling-system, restraint-system, and structural inspection before the vehicle can be considered roadworthy. The front door also has light horizontal scuffing and surface discoloration.
