2018 AUDI Q7 quattro Prestige

The vehicle is listed with a salvage vehicle title, and the auction’s primary-damage classification is “front end.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this stated front-end damage claim because multiple front-end components are missing or detached. The salvage-title status itself could not be confirmed from the photographs. The front bumper cover, front grille, and both headlamp assemblies are missing. The absence of these components exposes the front cooling system, mounting areas, wiring, brackets, radiator, and other internal front-end parts. Additional front-fascia components are missing around the left front corner and lower bumper area. Multiple detached exterior panels, trim pieces, wiring, and a curved trim section are also reported lying on the ground in front of the vehicle. The damage is classified as severe collision damage. The findings do not establish the condition of the underlying structural, cooling, electrical, steering, suspension, or powertrain components; a comprehensive physical inspection will be required. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2018 Audi Q7 quattro Prestige SUV with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Bratislava, Slovakia.
