2018 AUDI Q7 quattro Prestige

The vehicle is a 2018 Audi Q7. The auction record identifies it as having a salvage collision title, with “FRONT END” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated front-end damage claim, citing extensive missing front-end components and exposed assemblies. The salvage-title status itself cannot be independently verified from photographs alone. The front end has extensive damage and missing components. The front bumper cover, grille and associated fascia panels, and both headlamp assemblies are absent, leaving the cooling components, wiring, engine-area assemblies, and mounting areas exposed. Both front fenders are also missing. The hood has visible creasing and uneven deformation along its front portion. A large lower front underbody panel is detached and hanging below the vehicle. Multiple front-end panels, trim pieces, cooling components, and related parts are separated from the vehicle and placed on the ground. Their condition and whether all required parts are present cannot be determined from the provided findings. Additional damage is reported on the visible side of the vehicle. The rear door has light-colored linear scratches and contrasting paint transfer. Lower rocker-panel trim is missing, exposing mounting holes and the underlying rocker-panel area. Window glass is missing from the visible front and rear door openings. The findings indicate substantial collision-related repair requirements, including replacement of numerous exterior and front-end components, inspection of exposed cooling systems and wiring, assessment of the hood and underlying mounting structure, and verification of the vehicle’s mechanical and safety systems. Operation and roadworthiness cannot be determined from these findings. Three NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model and model year. Recall 19V035000 concerns potentially leaking left and right fuel rails, which could increase the risk of fire; Audi’s stated remedy is free replacement of the fuel rails. Recall 20V658000 concerns C-pillar padding that may not adequately absorb impact, with free replacement of the C-pillar deformation elements specified as the remedy. Recall 20V149000 concerns a steering-shaft bolt that may loosen and potentially result in loss of steering control; the stated remedy is inspection and, if necessary, replacement of the bolt. Recall completion status for this vehicle is not provided.
