2017 AUDI Q7 quattro Premium

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title, with “SIDE” recorded as the primary damage classification. This is an auction designation and does not, by itself, establish the full extent or cause of the damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports side-area damage, specifically the missing passenger-side lower molding and visible surface scuffing. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The documented exterior damage is concentrated on the passenger-side lower rear door and adjacent rocker area. The lower exterior molding or trim is missing, leaving multiple mounting holes and the underlying white panel exposed. Several dark surface scuff marks are also visible on the lower portion of the rear passenger door above the missing molding. The missing trim is assessed as moderate damage, while the scuffing is considered minor cosmetic damage. A physical inspection is recommended to check the exposed panel, mounting points, rocker area, door alignment, and any damage not visible in the supplied findings. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2017 Audi Q7 quattro Premium SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, seven seats, and left-hand drive. It was manufactured by Audi AG in Bratislava, Slovakia. NHTSA records list several recalls associated with 2017 Audi Q7 vehicles, including potential fuel-rail leaks, third-row seat-back movement, seat-belt pretensioner operation, electric power steering, side-marker-light software, air-bag control-module software, and a steering-shaft bolt.
